[pptp-server] PPTP "routing?" Issue

[George Vieira]

Everybody makes this mistake.
 
If you want to see the hosts on the inside the best way is to give the pptpd
servers "localip" setting the same as it's LAN IP.. Then give the remote
hosts the same IP range as the local LAN and use "proxyarp" in your
/etc/ppp/options file so that the pptpd server will respond to local LAN
machines who are looking for the pptp clients...
 
Your localip is 192.168.0.1 and yet your pptp client is on 192.168.1.1
 
If you really need this to work you then need ipforwarding for your pptp
client to the LAN and/or routing between them.
This is a firewall/IP issue and not really a pptpd issue as it's just a
network setup.
 
I'm sure there's VFAQs about this.


thanks,

Subject: [pptp-server] PPTP "routing?" Issue



Hi. I have installed the PPTP daemon on my linux server and it accepts
calls. However, the only host I can "see"/ping is the PPTP server. When the
connection is established the PPP0 interface has an ip address of
192.168.0.1 and gives the PPTP client  and ip address of 192.168.1.1 . Can
anyone help we to find where these ip addresses are being generated? The
192.168.1.1 is valid for my internal network, however DHCPD is giving out
192.168.1.100-192.168.1.200. I have NOTHING configured to use the
192.168.0.1 network. 

Thanks in advance!
