Hello,
When my Windows 98 client connects to my linux box, it gets the wrong
netmask.
It should be: 255.255.255.0
But the assigned netmask is: 255.255.0.0
I already tried to add "netmask 255.255.255.0" in the pppd config file,
without result.
My /etc/pptd.conf:
option /etc/ppp/options.pptp
debug
localip 172.16.0.240-245
remoteip 172.16.0.246-250
netmask 255.255.255.0
And /etc/options.pptp:
netmask 255.255.255.0
lock
debug
auth
+chap
proxyarp
I am using the following the following version:
* pptpd-1.0.1
* ppp-2.3.11
* linux-2.2.16
Are there any ideas?
This matter makes problem with netbios broadcasts. With the wrong
netmask all broadcasts are send to 172.16.255.255 (which is not
working) instead of 172.16.0.255.
