I'm having trouble setting pptpd up for ubuntu10.04-minimal on my VPS.
I've used this guide: [URL] my Mac won't connect. pptpd is running.
There's no logs - not even a /var/log/syslog - why is that?
Here's my configs
pptpd.conf - http://pastebin.com/C4vpJBq9
pptpd-options - http://pastebin.com/aTUmApaLedit
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:
Code:

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 ???

View 8 Replies View RelatedI 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 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)?

View 9 Replies View RelatedI'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.
View 1 Replies View RelatedHave 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 other problem is that I'm downloading at 35kbps from connexeon.net (Belgian repo) but that my connection is the following: [url
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.

View 2 Replies View RelatedI am trying to set up an unused machine as a web server for my students.
I originaly tried with Redhat 9 and had the same problems. I am using an HP Pentium 4 system with 2 network cards.
1) The built in Realtek RTL8139 configured as eth0.
2) An add in Broadcom BCM5782 Gigabit card that was added I presume when the built in card failed (we have a number of machines like this around the school), configured as eth1.
I did not realize the second card was installed when I had Red hat 9 on the system, but I discovered it after installing centos 5.5. I have tried to configure the system to use DHCP with and without getting the DNS from the provider, and both ways the system complains that there is no connection, check the cable, so it will not activate the device.
When I configure the device to use a fixed IP, I can configure the device, but I can't ping anything on the network other than myself. I suppose it is possible that both network cards have failed, but I get green link lights with both cards, when I connect them to my router, so I am at a loss as to why neither board seems to work. I don't have a spare network card to slide in because the computer takes a special mini card. Is there an easy way to test the board to see if the board is a problem?
I just started having a problem with my 10.04 laptop a few days ago, maybe Thursday, last week. When the computer is plugged into my home network (standard 192.168.1.1 sort of IPs) it works fine, but when I try to connect to my work network (130.15.90.XX) I am unable to pick up an IP. The router in my office is working fine, all the windows boxes can connect.
I've also noticed that when the computer is plugged in at work the notification icon for the networking indicates it is looking for a wireless connection (rather than the normal up/down arrows), even if wireless is deactivated
I can set a static IP in /etc/network/interfaces and everything works, so it seems to be a DHCP problem?
I've been experiencing a problem with Fedora in which when I enable Wireless in Fedora, Wireless networking does not work in windows. HOwever, when disabled, it works correctly. Windows claims it is "not able to find any networks to connect to"
EDIT: It seems that when wireless is disabled manually on fedora before shutdown, there are no problems in windows.
Networking on Fedora 11 doesn't work for me on various machines. Fedora 10 does, but only if you don't do an update.Why does Fedora get worse the more you keep it up-to-date?
View 1 Replies View RelatedI've been trying to set up an SSH key on my server and laptop. I generate the key on the laptop, copy the id_rsa.pub file over into '/home/server/.ssh/authorized_keys', and try restarting the SSH server on the remote machine (server). Every time I try to ssh into the server from the laptop, I get a password prompt.
When I created the key, I left the password blank. It is asking me for PASSWORD, not PASSPHRASE when I try to login. So, I would assume the key is not working/being recognized at all. I have tried changing the permissions of the ssh folder and authorized_keys file on the server per various posts I have found on the web. Nothing works.

How to get my wireless to work. I'm currently running Ubuntu 9.10 on a Dell Inspiron 2200. The wireless adapter I'm currently using is a Linksys WPC54G ver. 3.
When I enter iwconfig lo, eth0 and wmaster0 have no wireless extensions. wlan0 says
I tried following the instructions here:[url]
But when I enter sudo ifdown eth0 it says internet eth0 not configured. then wlan0 it acts like it doesn't even exist.
I have a Compaq Presario with an Atheros AR5002 wireless card. I just installed Karmic and the wifi is the only thing not working. Wireless does work in 9.04. Here's what I get with iwconf
lo no wireless extensions.
eth0 no wireless extensions.
wmaster0 no wireless extensions.

I bought an Alfa Network AWUS036NH adapter that I want to use with Ubuntu 9.10 Desktop.it looks like it won't connect automatically and the install instructions don't make any sense to me. I've installed from source before, but this is different. See here:

Build Instructions:
====================
1> $tar -xvzf DPB_RT2870_Linux_STA_x.x.x.x.tgz go to "./DPB_RT2870_Linux_STA_x.x.x.x" directory.
2> In Makefile set the "MODE = STA" in Makefile and chose the TARGET to Linux by set "TARGET = LINUX" define the linux kernel source include file path LINUX_SRC modify to meet your need.

I connected from the Asus EeePC (Jaunty) to my Karmic machine using Remote Desktop - Vinagre to the Vino server over ethernet. However despite getting a connection I could not see the changes I was making - I can control the desktop but the client never updates the screen. It works perfectly connecting to Real VNC on my Windows machine.I tried installing Real VNC from the package manager but the X vnc module does not load - missing symbol. So I decided to compile from source but the build fails on making the tcp networking part.
I need a solution to control my desktop from the Eee and am confused as to why none of this works. I have tried everything I know of. I have read the README's carefully and I cannot understand why I can control Windows from Ubuntu but not another Ubuntu desktop (well I can but as I said I can't see the changes just a static image).
I'm very new to Ubuntu and Linux in general. I installed Ubunutu NBR on a HP Mini 2140. After some wireless issues and a bad decision, I deleted the ssb.ko files. Now the wireless won't work at all. How can I repair the SSB modules or reinstall those files?
View 1 Replies View RelatedI've installed Ubuntu 9.1 on my Acer Aspire One ZG5 that was previously running Win XP with the wireless working fine. In ubuntu,though, i can't get the wireless to work at all and I don't really even know how to troubleshoot it. I've opened a terminal and used sudo to update various packages, but still nothing. It does appear as though the system recognizes the card since I can configure it, but I'm not keen on playing wi8th the BSSID and MAC address stuff because I just don't have any confidence that it will change my situation. Has anyone had any success with this setup (ubuntu 9.1 and acer one)? Is there a step-by-step wireless troubleshooting/ configuration process that's generic to ubuntu?
View 8 Replies View RelatedI can't seem to get ping to work on my home computer. I actually have two separate installations of Ubuntu 9.10. One is at home, sharing space with Windows Vista (dual-boot) on a Dell Inspiron 1525. The other is at workusing Sun VirtualBox on a Windows XP host. ping works quite well at work, through VirtualBox. For example, Code:ping linuxcommand.org always gets 0% packet loss. However, when I do the same thing at home, I always get 100% packet loss.
View 1 Replies View RelatedLet me start off by saying that I'm a complete Linux-noob. I just installed Ubuntu 9.10 and I'm really enjoying it. I was planning to install it for quite a while now but now that I have my own computer, I actually could make it happen.That being said, it's a whole difference with Windows though and sometimes it's hard to find my way in this new system. My main problem is that I can't seem to get my wireless connection working. From what I've read online this problem is not uncommon with Ubuntu 9.10?
I tried searching for my wireless card drivers in 'System > Administration > Hardware Drivers' but that didn't really work out. It did find a wireless card driver but when I try to activate it, it returns an error message. All the other drivers seem to be installed so I can't really see what the problem is. Can anyone help me with this?BTW, I think I also have a problem with the graphics card driver. When I try to active the 'extra' desktop effects is says this can't be activate. I already tried installing Compiz and the Composite Manager.
had 9.10 and had truble with this usb wirerless dongle but was able to fix with some help from the formes so now with the fresh install the wireless maneger sees my network and says its conected but no lights on dongle and web pages wont come up

When I click on the network connection sign at the top of the screen on Xubuntu (even on Ubuntu--I uninstalled it to see if that was the problem but the problem persisted on Xubuntu), it will say wireless network 'device not ready'. i tried running a command from the Xubuntu Troubleshooting and it said that my device was turned off for some reason. This is not true as I made sure that I turned it on. I've tried everything else and I am all out of luck. I also do not have a boot-up CD for Xubuntu/Ubuntu and I'm not sure of how to do all those commands in the terminal

About my network card...
Hardware details:
Board: Dell Wireless 1490 Dual Band WLAN Mini-Card Rev 5.8
Chipset: BCM4312/BCM2050
I forgot to mention at the bottom that it won't let me look at my hardware drivers and it says I don't have the correct things properly installed and then it won't show any drivers (so this problem probably cannot be solved using ndiswrapper).
i was instelling ubuntu 8.10 on my laptop type HP (nx6110) but the Ethernet and the wireless are not work. i was used the nm-tool on terminal the code is
