Hi,

I'm facing a strange error, when trying to set up the PPTP VPN between the router and a XP client. The tunnel builds up just fint, but the endpoint is 192.168.0.1 on the router side ALWAYS (regardless of the configuration). Is this a bug or it's normal?
The internal lan uses 192.168.1.0/24 with dhcp from 100 to 200.

options.pptp:

root@OpenWrt:~# cat /etc/ppp/options.pptpd
#debug
logfile /tmp/pptp-server.log
192.168.1.200:
auth
name "pptp-server"
lcp-echo-failure 3
lcp-echo-interval 60

mtu 1482

#ms-dns 192.168.1.1
#plugin radius.so
#radius-config-file /etc/radius.conf
root@OpenWrt:~#

And another question: is it possible to set the route on the client side, that the 192.168.1.0/24 is always routed via the tunnel?

Thanks,

You can configure the tunnel ips for the server and client side in /etc/pptpd.conf
e.g.

localip 192.168.1.200
remoteip 192.168.1.201-209

To set the default route into the tunnel, use "defaultroute" in the options-file on a linux client.
For a Windows XP client, activate "use default gateway" in the advanced TCP/IP settings of the VPN connection (I cannot tell you the exact terms, because I'm running a non-english version of XP).

I did not set it in pptpd.conf, because it said:

root@FerroRouter:/etc# cat pptpd.conf 
#debug
option /etc/ppp/options.pptpd
speed 115200
stimeout 10

#localip & remoteip are not needed, ip management is done by ppp

What's the point setting one local ip and multiple remote IPs? Than only 1 client can connect at a time, right?

Meanwhile, I've done it, I think. Set 10 local ip-s (with no remote ips) and it's working now (also set the 'defaultroute')

Thanks!

Can someone please advise me what settings for poptop (pptpd) i need to change and what iptables rules i need to add for this to work?

It's really driving me crazy as i cannot get it working.
