Im from israel. I use vpn over _cable_ (not dialing) to connect to the
internet. works fine in windows.
On Freebsd 6.0. i installed pptpclient which uses pptpclient 1.7.0 sources,
the newest version.
Problem description:
-I recieve a local ip from the cable company: 172.27.15.77 on sis0
interface.
-I run pptpclient, seems to connect and creates a new device tun0 with a
valid internet ip and gateway
-From here im still incapable of ping or resolving anything. Anything i try
to resolve becomes 213.57.1.13 which is the ip for the cable company
website. the name servers it uses are 192.168.101.101. which is the same as
in windows, but on windows i am successful in resolving websites after i
connect to vpn.
Also i cannot ping any valid ip over the internet. packets time out.
basically i cant connect or do anything.
I tried adding a route or changing default route, but usually when i do this
i kill the pptp connection.
I can give you more info on the protocols of vpn in windows like PAP and
SPAP but i dont htink thats the issue because i get valid ip on new device
tun0, i just cant figure how to use it and connect through it without
killing the pptp connection.
Here is all the info, i copied by hand because i dont have a link to the
system.
# cat /etc/ppp/ppp.conf
cable:
set authname joe
set authkey guess
set timeout 0
set ifaddr 0 0
set login
alias enable yes
# add 10.240.192.1/24 HISADDR
# add 213.57.1.13/24 HISADDR
# tried using each of those. and also disabling 'set login'. and still same
problems.
# /etc/rc.d/netif restart
