Networking :: Connect To A Vpn Server - The Required Daemons - Pppd And Pptpd - Aren't Availabale
Apr 12, 2010
I want to connect to a vpn server and I'm using debian 5.
I installed Kvpnc package but when I try to make a new profile I choose "Microsoft pptp" as vpn type and I receive the following message: the required daemons (pppd and pptpd) aren't availabale
Is there anyway to download required daemons in another computer and use them in my computer (I'm worried about dependencies)?
I have a couple of questions for anybody willing to answer them. I have a GSM modem with a t-mobile SIM card that I am currently trying to use to connect to the Internet. I am using Lucid amd64 machine.I have been running wvdial with a baud rate of 115200 with much success getting the output below:
Code: sudo wvdial --> WvDial: Internet dialer version 1.60
I am trying to set up a VPN server, and I had it working, but needed to reinstall the system for other reasons. Now, with the same setup, it is no longer working. When I attempt to connect to it from my Mac, it tells me that a connection could not be established, and the connection drops. When I connect to it from my iPhone, it works, but I can't access the internet. I have included the 2 parts of the log file for the iPhone and laptop connection and both config files.
I'm using fedora core-8. I need to setup dialup server to accept dial up connection.Dial up server shoudl also allocate ip address to client (trying to connect using modem)If some one knows how to do this, please let me know.I'm trying to achieve peer to peer communication between two computers connected using modem on both side over PSTN line.
I'm trying to setup PPTPd on my dedicated server and the IP ranges i put the in the config have to exist in one of the network interfaces otherwise the connection wont work,I currently only have eth0 with the direct internet IP which i can't use for this purpose,I need a new NIC with a LAN IP for this and I have no clue.
Have a router running OpenSUSE 11.3. I have 3 interfaces eth0 192.168.0.0/24 - local network eth1 - The Internet if eth2 - Citynet
I have configured routing and it works. I can browse the Internet from local net. However, I want to connect to my workstation (192.168.0.3) from Citynet interface. I've made masquerading rule in Yast it works just fine like a proxy do (on 192.168.0.2 local server). Now I need to run VPN server in my local net to connect from Citynet interface, and I have problems with it. I've configured pptpd on the router and it work for local network and I have a vpn server under Windows on 192.168.0.2
So my questions are: 1. What do I need to do in yast to allow vpn (pptp) ftom eth2 to 192.168.0.2? 2. What do I need to do in yast to allow vpn on router? Some how I succeed to make redirection to 192.168.0.2 and it worked, but I've tried to change it to router and can't get it work again.
In all these cases client has the next message: pptp[109]: LCP: timeout sending Config-Requests pptp[109]: Connection terminated. pptp[109]: Modem hangu
My problem is simple, iam runing ubuntu 8.04 (ebox 1.4) , i have installed and configured PPTPD server, i can connect and ping users perfectly. BUT i dont getting any gateway address, in my case i have to get IP address 172.16.0.1 (PPTP server address).I tried to change localIP in pptpd.conf to 0.0.0.0 ,or my remote(ISP) address but nothing.Can someone explain to me how can i manually assign gateway IP address to PPTPD Server ???
I configured a PPTP server on Ubuntu 10.10. It works fine! Sort of. My MacBook running OS X 10.6 connects fine. But my iPhone can't seem to connect! The iPhone settings seem to be correct.
Here is the output of the Ubuntu syslog when I try to connect with the iPhone:
Currently I have the following configuration on pptpd.conf which allows 250 connections :localip 192.168.10.1remoteip 192.168.10.2-254connections 250I would like to increase the connections to 500 , so I need more remoteip , what is the correct format for defining more remoteip
I used pptpd in cent os 5.4I want to change the default port 1723 of pptpd to 1813I chnage the pptpd port in service file to 1813 but ppp dont worknote : in ms vpn client i change the port to 1813
I just setup a SuSE 11.3/64 server and I am trying to setup pptpd for a vpn. I noticed thatg the ppp0 (or any pppx) interface is non-exoisting and I think that that is the problem why my gre packages are not being sent by pptpd (as I have checked all other options). I have tcp port 1723, and protocol port 47 (gre) open on the firewall (SuSEfirewall2). I have traced the responses using tcpdump and only when the server sends gre to the remote client, the client never receives it (the 1723 connection is established). I checked the old server (SuSE 10.2) that worked the vpn fine, and the only thing missing on 11.3 is ppp0. All other hardware (routers, etc.) are the same. I suspect that pptpd tries to use ppp0 and the interface is non-existing. I can remotely ssh to the server, dns works, samba works, everything else works. Is it something I am missing? How do I create if ppp0 and link it to eth3, the internet gateway? Do I need ppp0?
I'm using NFS and I have the following problem. After ~100 days, the client and server lose connection, but the client doesn't know about this, it gives no error. The problem is that the changes on the server side aren't visible on the client side.
I have installed kvpnc and loaded my profile using a .pcf file but seems not to be able to connect. the error I get is: error: The required daemon (vpnclient) is not available, connect will be disabled. I tried looking for vpnclient in the repo and over the internet but seems to be unavailable.
The server is a Dell 1650 1U server, which a fresh install of CentOS 5.3, formatting the drive in the process. It has two e1000 NIC's and based on the wiring eth0 is the public segment and eth1 is the private segment.Both nic's make a solid 100mb connection to the cisco switch, and I can ping both interfaces "just fine".
If I run nmap on a remote PC that is also dual-homed in this fashion, I get the same response as to which ports are open (essentially everything since I disabled iptables temporarily to troubleshoot this issue) on both interfaces, which would be the expected result.But... and here is the source of my confusion... I can see the server by pinging it, I can use SSH to make such a connection and log in, but I cannot get apache to "answer the phone" so to speak.Runing "tcpdump -i eth0" shows me that my browser on a remote PC is attempting to connect, but without reply.If I send my browser to the ip address of eth1, I get the default CentOS new web server page as is the norm.Nothing shows in my /var/log/httpd/access_log or error_log at all... apache simply isn't answering.The httpd.conf is the original, and the one line I attempted to 'adjust' was the "listen 80" line, which I added the ip addresses specifically, but that didn't change anything.I am unsure how nmap can indicate the port is open and there is a service behind it, when on the same PC that ran nmap, I cannot connect at all.Might anyone have a clue to toss me so I can work to figure this out?
I am using kppp in ubuntu10.10 to connect via my samsung c3010 mobile and Airtel connection. But when I dial through it, it terminates on signal 15! Some requests are rejected it seems. I am pasting the log:

I am connecting the modem over USB. The GUI shows me it is dialling the number, and then connecting to the network, and after a while ( it sends it 9 times it seems) it terminates.
QUESTION: Where do I add "pppd nomagic" to stop analog modem loopback errors? (I am using Gnome PPP.)BACKGROUND INFO:I am using Ubuntu LTS 8.04 on a laptop and have an analog modem connected via USB serial cable. The 8.04 dialup and the analog modem work flawlessly.Modem disconnects when using Ubuntu LTS 10.04.1 Live USB:I am testing LTS 10.04.1 on a live USB drive that I purchased preinstalled from On-Disk.On the live USB drive, I am able to get a dialup connection with my ISP long enough to pull up a web page with the browser. However, the analog modem disconnects within minutes with exit codes 16 or 17.an pppd:16 The link was terminated by the modem hanging up.The PPP negotiation failed because serial loopback was detected.
I'm looking for a tutorial on how to create a simple pppd tunnel between two machines. I've found alot of tutorials about pppd over ssh (using the pty option) but for the purpose I just want a simple pppd tunnel.
Specs host 1: lan ip 10.101.10.20 running slackware 13.0 host 2: lan ip 10.101.10.21 running slackware 13.1
I can connect to Strongvpn (pptp) through command line call 'sudo pppd call stongvpn' followed by' route add default dev ppp0'. Everything works well.I would like to set this up on start up. I use kde. I have set up basic /etc/init.d/strongvpn script which gets called at boot and creates ppp0 but the route command does not seem to work. When I use command route add in terminal the connection comes up.Here's my /etc/init.d script
Recently I started having this problem where most users on the system are unable to log into the system over SSH. Their user name and password is correct, however it shows them as invalid when they are in fact valid. I've tried changing their password but that didn't work. I also tried deleting their account, as well as their home directory, and then recreating the account, but that didn't work. Only root and perhaps one or two other select accounts are able to log in without problems. I even tried a reboot to see if that would fix it, but as I theorized, it wouldn't. I also checked and ensured their home directory was chowned to them, and that they even had a home directory. Any assistance would be greatly appreciated to help me get this issue resolved. As a dsie note, they are showing up as invalid in /vars/logs/auth.log. Running Debian 5.0 Lenny.
Right now i have a HP DL 180 Server with 130 Gb Hard Disk & 8 Gb ram after Raiding0+1. i want to configure Domain Controller Server for my office for 200 to 300 Users. what should the partition size must be mentioned in my 130 Gb Hard Disk, is that going to be Sufficient for ME ?
i am bit confused about /Usr /Var /Boot partitions, as i need to manage perfectly in 130 GB
if i go with 4 Gb swap and remaining for " / " is that will be fine ? should i need to specify partition sizes separately for / tmp /var / usr ..
I have a problem with my BROADCOM BCM4311 802.11b/g WLAN... I made a clean installation of Maverick Meerkat and everything runs perfect except the card drivers... then I investigated almost a week on the net and finally the problem was solved (I made the installation of some drivers on Synaptics tool, then I wrote some codes on the Terminal to activate the light to turn it blue and the Wi-Fi IS ON AND WORKS!).
I thought everything was ok, but when I restarted the laptop, the wifi conections aren't able to be detected so I must re-install the card driver to get it active again :S. I really don't know why the card drivers works only when I install them, because restarting the system make them simply don't work.
I read something about changing my user's state (it was 'personalized') to 'administrator', but nothing happened.I searched on Ubuntu's web but nothing works.It's a Compaq Presario V3000.
I am working on a NFS server embedded on a PowerPC plateform (4650EX, 512Ram, 1 GB Ethernet) but i can't mount my exports folders from my client. Here are messages :
In Gnome Places->Connect To Server dialog, I am having problem using the Custom Location Service Type. I enter in the URI as
Code:
smb://username:password@ipaddress/share_name
I get an pop up error message that says:
Quote:
Cannot Connect To Server. You must enter a name for the server.
Which would be fine if there was actually a place for me to enter the name which there is not. What am I doing wrong. This is the first time I have tried using the Connect To Server dialog. Normally I just use a script I wrote to mount my share in a folder on my local drive as some programs cannot access the mounted network folder. In a browser all I have to do is:
Code:
smb://ipaddress/share_name
I tried using Windows Shares, but that did not work either. It does work if I click on network and access the share that way, but some programs like firefox and a few others that I want to save a file to my network drive do not show the network unless the share is mounted in a folder. So, I wrote a script:
When do you know when to re-boot your server? I have Centos 5.6 As my remote web server running Direct Admin. I have also Centos 5.6 as a local back up server. With a KDE user interface so i can learn the graphical and command line. How ever when i query Yum for updates locally, i can see a nice extra icon next to the updates in KDE saying will require a reboot. But on my remote web server, how would i know if a Reboot would be required?
How do I add a route that doesn't go away after a reboot? I tried adding to /etc/sysconfig/network-scripts/route-wlan0 and /etc/sysconfig/static-routes but neither of them did anything when I restarted network and NetworkManager. route command does not show the new route that I added. I tried this too - routes.html and there were no errors but the new route doesn't show up with the route command.I added "192.168.13.88/255.255.255.255 via 192.168.13.101 dev wlan0"
