[pptp-server] Server may ping client, client unable to ping s erver

[Andrews Carl 448]

 I had the same problem. When I accessed the server's VPN and ON THE SERVER
type ifconfig, the PPP adapter was given an "local network" and a "remote
network" ip address. I had to modify pptpd.conf,options.pptp and ipchains to
allow access for the "new" network

Add to the /etc/pptpd.conf
debug
option /etc/ppp/options.pptp
localip 192.168.1.80-89
remoteip 192.168.0.80-89

#/etc/ppp/options.pptp
proxyarp
+chap
auth
debug
lock
defaultroute
ms-dns 216.206.101.2

then add access for 192.168.0.80-90 for ipchains 

Hope this helps!

Hi,

I'm running pptpd on a linux box with iptables.  Iptables is currently
set
with default allow and masquerades for my internal LAN.  We are trying
to
connect a remote client running windows 98 to the LAN, but to no avail,
The client connects and receives a remote and local IP address.  I can
ping the client's IP from the server, but the client is unable to send
any
traffic back to the LAN.

We initially had iptables configured to be more stringent, but loosened
it
up, thinking perhaps that was causing all the trouble.  Unfortunately
this
has not solved anything.

The windows 98 computer has all of the latest updates (as of 8:00 EST
today :) ).

Any thoughts?


tom
