Dear all,
I would like to connect to a VPN. I was following steps described here:
Red Hat Linux 9 (On Campus)
I was unable to install PPTP-php-gtk (Graphical Configuration Tool)
Package, but The Roaring Penguin PPPoE Client, PPP Package, PPTP-Linux
Package were installed. I believe, the Kernel-MPPE Package was installed
as well.
In order to connect to the VPN, I entered the following command in a Konsole with root rights (followed by password):
pptpsetup --create test_connection --server vpn.aserver.com --username XXXX
–encrypt --start
Note, that I replaced my user name with XXXX in the line above.
pptpsetup is responded:
Using interface ppp0
Connect: ppp0 <–> /dev/pts/2
Warning - secret file /etc/ppp/chap-secrets has world access
Warning - secret file /etc/ppp/chap-secrets has world access
CHAP authentication succeeded
MPPE 128-bit stateless compression enabled
local IP address 137.222.244.3
remote IP address 137.222.245.248
It seems that the connection to the VPN of UoB was successfully established. I can ping desktop computers, I can also ping other
computers of the network (I was able to do that before establishing the VPN connection…). However, I can not login to the computers with ssh, rdesktop and tsclient are not able to start the remote desktop of my
remote computers. I was able to do that under Windows before.
Did anybody face similar problem before? How it can be resolved?
Thanks a lot
pavel
PS: latest versions of OpenSuse Linux and pptp are installed.
