[pptp-server] How to route it?

[Murali K. Vemuri]

hi,
out of my experience, i could understand this:
you are not able to look beyond the pptp server, although a pptp connection is
established
for this to happen, you should have the option 'proxyarp' (without quotes, of
course!) in the /etc/ppp/options file
also, i understood one more thing. here, the pptp client is getting a different
subnet address than the server.
client : 192.168.0.X
and server: 192.168.1.X
why don't try setting the 'remoteip 192.168.1.Y' in the /etc/pptpd.conf file
(the 'Y' should be an address which is not being used by
anybody in the subnet).
i struggled with the same problem and these things solved the problem
i observed that ppp cannot proxy the requests beyond one subnet.
<< if i am not correct, some one please correct me>>
after you do the changes, kill the ppp and pptp servers and restart them.
this should work as it worked on both 7.0 and 7.1
