Greetings: I have set up a VPN with PopTop. My server configuration is FreeBSD 4.0-Release, and Samba 2.0.7. I have installed the PopTop port on this server to allow for the VPN connections. My server has 2 network cards, one internet ip address (ip address = 24.x.x.x), and one internal non-routable ip address (ip address = 192.168.0.55). I would like to connect to this server from both internal locations over my lan, and from remote locations via a cable modem. The VPN server is connected to a cable modem and a local area network. I think that my problem is not with my PopTop configuration, but with my PPP configuration. The following are from my configuration files: /usr/local/etc/pptpd.conf speed 115200 option /etc/ppp/options debug localip 192.168.0.234-238,192.168.0.245 remoteip 192.168.1.234-238,192,168.1.245 ipxnets 00001000-00001FFF listen 192.168.0.4 listen 224.224.x.x pidfile /var/run/pptpd.pid ### I don't understand the localip and remoteip lines /etc/ppp/chap-secrets dummy D123456 ### remote userid = dummy remote userpassword = D123455 /etc/ppp/options debug name otis_vpn auth require-chap proxyarp #### I don't understand the name otis_vpn line /etc/ppp/ppp.deny root toor daemon operator bin games news man ftp uucp xten ingres Also, when setting up my windows dial-up networking connection information, and I enter the username and password, the username is always converted into all uppercase letters, yet, my FreeBSD username uses all lowercase letters. What do I need to do to resolve this, or can it be resolved? Lastly, when I attempt to connect to the VPN server from the Windows client box, the follwoing error message is displayed to screen and to my /var/log/messages file: pptp: Configuration label not found My /var/log/ppp.log file logs the following error messages: Jul 22 01:54:48 otis ppp[30053]: Warning: Label pptp rejected - direct connection: Configuration label not found This message is generated each time that I try and log into the VPN server. I have read the docs, and am obviously missing something. A point in the right direction would be greatly appreciated.
