Topic: PPTP Client behind OpenWrt dosn`t work

The content of this topic has been archived on 20 Apr 2018. There are no obvious gaps in this topic, but there may still be some posts missing at the end.

Hello,
after an update to White Russian RC4 my pptp dosn`t work any longer.
I use this scenario:

Windows XP Professional PPTP Client >> OpenWRT >> Internet >> Draytek Vigor Router with buildin PPTP-Server.
Windows tryed to conencxt to the pptp server but it hangs with checking username and password.
But with older Openwrt version or DD-WRT it works correctly. Has anyone some idee?

Hi,
I got the same problem. You found a solution to this problem in the meantime?

Did you try installing the iptables-nat-extra and kmod-ipt-nat-extra packages that provide connection tracking modules for PPTP ?

thx, this fixed my problem smile

I ran into the same problem: XP PPTD client -> OpenWRT (Asus 500gd) -> pptpd Draytek router: no go!

So what is the current solution for RC5?
RC5 is my first OpenWrt installation. I am not very familiar with Linux and OpenWRT and not with iptables at all yet. Could someone give me a brief solution for the pptp issue? Thank you.

If all u have to do is install those 2 modules, then ssh into the router and type

ipkg install iptables-nat-extra kmod-ipt-nat-extra

>ipkg install iptables-nat-extra kmod-ipt-nat-extra

Thank you. But there seems to be a typo.
"iptables-nat-extra" does not exits. Did you mean  iptables-mod-extra or iptables-mod-nat or something else? Thanks
