Subject: [gentoo-user] PPTP connection to Windows server 2003 vpn
Date: Tue, 03 Jul 2007 12:50:43 -0500	[thread overview]
Message-ID: <468A8C73.8070305@karlhaines.com> (raw)

I've been following the guide at:
http://gentoo-wiki.com/HOWTO_PPTP_VPN_client_%28Microsoft-compatible_with_mppe%29

Trying to get my vpn to work going from my linux laptop. That would
really make the boss jealous! Anyhow, when i run my ifconfing ppp0,
after doing /etc/init.d/net.ppp0 start, it looks like this:

ppp0      Link encap:Point-to-Point Protocol
          POINTOPOINT NOARP MULTICAST  MTU:1400  Metric:1
          RX packets:0 errors:0 dropped:0 overruns:0 frame:0
          TX packets:0 errors:0 dropped:0 overruns:0 carrier:0
          collisions:0 txqueuelen:3
          RX bytes:0 (0.0 b)  TX bytes:0 (0.0 b)

I see no inet entries like i think i should, and if i do:

route add -net 192.168.0.0 netmask 255.255.255.0 dev ppp0

is says the interface doesn't exist!! What am I doing wrong here? I'd be
glad to talk to someone on IRC (I'm karleeto 24/7) and in a return
email. Thanks in advance for the help!
