I've followed all the docs that google could return (they all mostly the same in any case), and yeah... My PPTP server *does* work.. As long as I don't terminate more than one connection at a time to the server *shock horror*. For some reason (and I suspect I know why), ppp insist on only using one device for all the incoming PPTP connections from poptop. Obviously not right, and err, ja.. I need to get this fixed... Very urgently as well. My streamlined ppp.conf: pptp: accept dns allow mode direct disable chap disable mschap disable mschapv2 enable lqr enable pap set device localhost:pptp set dial set dns 192.168.1.1 set ifaddr 192.168.1.1 10.255.255.1-10.255.255.254 255.255.255.255 set log Connect set login set radius /etc/ppp/ppp.radius set server /tmp/loop "" 0177 set timeout 0 Now, I suspect that it is only using one device (regardless of the number of connections), due to the device (socket) specification. But frankly, if I don't specify it what device to use, it won't even be able to operate a single pptp connection. Any advice is greatly appreciated. I need to get this resolved asap. I didn't send any logs from ppp.... PPP and the PPTP connections works 100% - even with Radius. The problem is purely that PPP always uses the same device, regardless of the amount of connections (ala tun0). My kernel does have allot of tunX devices, and ifconfig -a lists at least two available. Still, ppp only uses the one. I'm sad to say, but if I can't get this to work, I'm going to have to be forced to scrap my BSD box for a W2K Adv server... *sigh*, at least their RAS server works okish... Thanks, me
