Hi, I'm trying to connect my lan to a remote lan through pptp/vpn. I followed the instructions on http://www.freebsddiary.org/pptp.php and created a ppp.conf like this: UPVPN: set authname "myusername" set authkey "mypassword" set timeout 0 set ifaddr 0 0 add 10.40.23.0/24 HISADDR alias enable yes Now when I lauched pptp: # pptp "vpnserver" UPVPN I got these errors: anon warn[open_inetsock:pptp_callmgr.c:312]: connect: Operation timed out anon fatal[callmgr_main:pptp_callmgr.c:121]: Could not open control connection t o "vpnserver's ip" anon fatal[open_callmgr:pptp.c:379]: Call manager exited with error 256 Looking at /var/messages, I can see something like this, but I don't know if it has something to do with the error. Jun 16 13:04:14 tmc pptp[20182]: anon log[main:pptp.c:219]: The synchronous pptp option is NOT activated There is this site: http://www.mreriksson.net/howtos/netbsd-pptp-client/ which discusses how to set up pptpclient on NetBSD and there he mentioned about installing the PPPD-MPPE package which I did't do in my FreeBSD box since I failed to find the said pacakge in /usr/ports. I have a slight idea that I really need to have this installed because when I look at the properties page of my vpn connection using a windows machine, I can see this details: device Name WAN Miniport(PPTP) Device Type vpn Server Type PPP Transports TCP/IP Authentication MS CHAPv2 Encryption MPPE 128 Compression (none) PPP multilink Off ServerIP Address 10.40.23.120 ClientIP Address 10.40.23.13 Here's my LAN setup: LAN ------>PCRouter/proxy----->Cisco Router---->cloud Private computer on LAN access Internet through a dual homed pcrouter/proxy server. In this kind of setup, is it possible that those private machine on LAN be connected to the remote private LAN through a pptp tunnel? I've already done this on Windows and there, it has an option for internet sharing, and I'm wondering if I can do the same with freebsd. Any idea? Thanks a lot! __________________________________________________ Do You Yahoo!? Tired of spam? Yahoo! Mail has the best spam protection around http://mail.yahoo.com
