Setting Up PPTP VPN Connection

Has anyone been able to successfully setup a PPTP VPN connection? If so,
what all had to be installed and is there a guide somewhere?

Thanks,

Thank you for the link. After updating the kernel I was able to use kvpnc
to make the pptp connection. However I still have a problem...

The connection gets created and I receive an ip from the server. However,
I cannot reach anything on that network. I can't ping, tracepath, or
anything else to that network.

In kvpnc I made a route for 10.10.10.0/24 to device ppp0 however still no
luck.

Eventually the connection terminates because it can't get an echo reply.

Any thoughts?

Hi
Ports on the firewall maybe, ipsec? I would install wireshark
(ethereal) and do a packet capture and inspect that to see what is
happening.

Thanks for the thoughts. The firewall is disabled and we're using pptp,
not ipsec.

Any other thoughts? Maybe there's a special routing method I'm missing?

Unfortunately nope :-( Did you try a packet capture to see what
negotiations are taking place?
