Ubuntu Networking :: PPTP Connection Failing With LCP Timeout
Mar 6, 2010
I'm using Kubuntu 9.10, my pppd version is 2.4.5 and pptp is 1.7.2 I'm trying to connect to the iPredator VPN service, but I keep running into problems with LCP. I've tried using knetworkmanager, nm-applet, kvpnc and plain old text-based configuration to no avail. Here's a snippet of pppd's output:
[Code].....
(I've got "defaultroute" in my /etc/ppp/peers/ipred config file.) Any ideas what could be causing this? Could it even be my router? It claims to support PPTP, but considering it claims a lot of other things which aren't true, I wouldn't be surprised if it was the culprit.

I'm trying to configure internet access using KDE network manager. Added new VPN connection, set gateway and other options but connection breaks. Here is /var/log/daemon.log
Code:
Jul 1 17:35:22 dvinokurov-desktop NetworkManager: <info> Starting VPN service 'org.freedesktop.NetworkManager.pptp'...
Jul 1 17:35:22 dvinokurov-desktop NetworkManager: <info> VPN service 'org.freedesktop.NetworkManager.pptp' started (org.freedesktop.NetworkManager.pptp), PID 1761
Jul 1 17:35:22 dvinokurov-desktop NetworkManager: <info> VPN service 'org.freedesktop.NetworkManager.pptp' just appeared, activating connections .....
log[ctrlp_rep:pptp_ctrl.c:251]: Sent control packet type is 12 'Call-Clear-Request'
Jul 1 17:36:02 dvinokurov-desktop pptp[1773]: nm-pptp-service-1761 log[call_callback:pptp_callmgr.c:79]: Closing connection (call state)
As I understand the main problem is in "(IP Config Get) timeout exceeded".

I setup a PPTP VPN connection in ubuntu 9.10 (x86_64) using NetworkManager. After enabling the VPN connection, I can browse web pages (it's perfect) but after a while the vpn connection is terminated! The following is my syslog after connecting and terminating:

I am using relakks.com VPN Service and set it up with gnome's default nm-manager interface. Everything is just perfect when I'm browsing the web. I can do it for hours and nothing happens. On the other hand, when I open up a torrent client - after 15 seconds to 2 minutes - I get a nice kick off the VPN.
It goes like this:
Code:
Sep 20 08:25:11 NPC pptp[3496]: nm-pptp-service-3490 warn[decaps_gre:pptp_gre.c:426]: discarding bogus packet 94236 (expecting 93663)

I managed to set up a PPTP VPN connection in Ubuntu 10.04, and it worked first time.This was about 3 months ago. It was working yesterday (Oct 05 2010), but when I came to log in to the VPN today it doesn't work. I tried the same VPN connection on my wife's laptop which runs Vista and it works. I have tried re-entering the details, even deleting and setting up from scratch via network manager. And yes I have the correct VPN plugins. what I should do. Is there a log file so I can have a look at it to see what the problem is. If there is where is it located. The computer is able to connect to the internet without any problems, just can't connect to the VPN. The only thing I can think of is that the update manager popped up this morning so a few things have got updated today. maybe something in there broke the VPN connection.

I am unable to make my VPN connection to my university work correctly. Before, it would work some of the time without changing any settings. Now it never works. Unfortunately my institution does not provide support to linux users (outrageous!) so I'm on my own. Here is a link to the configuration instructions for windows and mac users, I've tried to configure mine based on this information but I have not been able to do it.

I have just managed to setup a small server were I run rtorrent through och VPN tunnel pptp based. When I start up my server without starting the tunnel it looks like this.
[Code]...
I guess that something happen with the VPN connection, assigned a new ip number maybe and that that made the change.

Something is wrong with the networking on this Ubuntu system. It has been assigned the LAN ip address 10.1.10.10 From another Ubuntu desktop, I can: ssh myself@10.1.10.10 ( from 10.1.10.143 ) and I can login without any problems. I can ping 10.1.10.10 ( from 10.1.10.143 )

Here's my setup: Slackware 13.1 External IFace = eth0 / DHCP (assigned from comcast) Internal IFace = eth1 / 192.168.0.0/24 I've made it connect/authenticate, but I can't get anything to route through it..

Really wanting to try and get this setup to where all computers on my lan are forced through the VPN, i've tried most of all things I've googled, and no real luck.

I am trying to set up an ssh server on my Debian squeeze box so that I can access it remotely when I'm not at home. I connect to the internet through an at&t 2wire modem/router. First off, I *can* ssh into the machine from inside the local network, e.g.

I have a user using Mac OSX and ssh-ing to a couple of Redhat servers, one running RHEL5 and the other RHEL6. The user's connection seems to be timing out after 60 minutes or so of inactivity. The user is on the same subnet as the servers. Both servers have the same sshd_config files with the following entries with regards to timeout:
TCPKeepAlive yes
ClientAliveInterval 30
ClientAliveCountMax 99999
In a nutshell, his office Mac keeps getting dropped off both machines. Other machines, including the Mac he logs in with from home doesn't get timed out and keep the connection open. The log files are unremarkable and the switch port shows no errors

recently i rent a xen vps intended to setup a PPTPD vpn server for me and my friends. so we can by-pass the great firewall in china and get back on ....., facebook and stuff. i have already setup the server and i can connect to it without any problem. but i still want to do some further configuration the server:
1. i want to limit the bandwidth to 400k/s per connection.
2. i also want to limit the max connection per user a/c
i have some thoughts on the 2nd requirement. in the user configuration file of /etc/ppp/chap-secret, you can specify the range of ip the user can get, does it limit the max connection per user a/c? or they can connect anyway, just every now and then a box pop up says conflict in IP address?

I am trying to write a little port knocking daemon that needs to see every failed connection attempt on every port on the system. The primary way to do this (as the Wikipedia page points out) is to monitor the firewall log file. I am using UFW and reading its output in /var/log/kern.log. Typically, when UFW blocks something, it prints a little line like this:
Quote:
Feb 17 10:42:42 serin kernel: [323588.279588] [UFW BLOCK INPUT]: IN=eth0 OUT= MAC=00:0b:e6:00:85:96:00:09:5b:9f:41:a4:08:00 SRC=192.168.0.4 DST=192.168.0.8 LEN=60 TOS=0x00 PREC=0x20 TTL=49 ID=46945 PROTO=TCP SPT=56849 DPT=1723 WINDOW=5840 RES=0x00 SYN URGP=0
But it seems that whenever UFW experiences a significant "load" (my client sends eight packets over the span of about 25 seconds, not too significant if you ask me), it just kind of "gives up" after 10 or so attempts. Log messages stop appearing in kern.log. I know the packets are coming; wireshark confirms this.
It seems to me that a buffer of some sort is filling up, because if I give the system a breather and try sending my sequence again in, say, three minutes, it prints log messages for 10-12 straight attempts before giving up again. I've tried sending packets at longer intervals and reading from other logs like /var/log/messages, but none of this has helped. Does anyone have any idea why UFW would fail to log all blocked connection attempts?

i have a VPN server PPTPD on Centos 5.3
eth0: 62.2.2.x (public on the internet)
GW: 62.2.2.1 (cisco router)
i want to configure my ppptp server to allow users access internet with their own public ips of class 62.2.3.0 62.2.4.0 62.2.5.0
every time i configure my server all users can get thier IPs but they only go out with my server IP same as NAT not routing.
can you show me the proper configuration to make my users connect with public IP and have internet access. use specific DNS ( i did this but some users can not brows by DNS)
is there any way to specify an expired date for each pptp user.

I'm trying to connect to a Microsoft ISA PPTP server from my Linux box. The box I'm connecting from is itself a router. I have no problem connecting a Windows XP machine to the VPN via this machine. This is fine, but I would rather connect via the Linux machine, giving me far more advanced routing options (i.e. no to send every packet from the XP box completely unnecessarily via the PPTP tunnel). The Linux router is running Debian Lenny.
I've checked iptables. There were initially some issues. I've fixed those.
Invoking pppd from the console, I can see that authentication succeeds, but then some negotiation goes wrong and the server terminates the connection. Here's the output from pppd, with the more sensitive stuff removed:
Code:
<hostname>:~# pppd call <peer> nodetach debug
using channel 19
Using interface ppp0
Connect: ppp0 <--> /dev/pts/2
sent [LCP ConfReq id=0x1 <asyncmap 0x0> <magic 0xe3e45f75> <pcomp> <accomp>]

My ubuntu system has been running really well until this morning - software update prompt appeared on the screen, so I ran with it and let it do its thing. A while after this, my WiFi network connection started failing. I've tried rebooting and then it can take up to five minutes or more for the password (keychain) prompt to appear. Once I have typed in the password the network connection starts to work. Then cuts out. Works. Then fails again.

I'm running an up-to-date Fedora 12 machine with the Gnome desktop (meaning with Network Manager). My network connection is a wired ethernet to a switch which then connects to a Netgear router. For some reason, this machine can't renew its leases with DHCP, so NetworkManager deactivates eth0, taking my machine off the network. I have to click Network Manager and enable eth0, which seems to work every time.
How can I fix it? Here are the relevant bits from /var/log/messages showing a failed DHCP request and then the successful renewal.
Code:
Aug 1 04:00:08 ironton dhclient[12452]: DHCPREQUEST on eth0 to 192.168.1.1 port 67
Aug 1 04:00:08 ironton dhclient[12452]: DHCPNAK from 192.168.1.1
Aug 1 04:00:08 ironton NetworkManager[1261]: <info> (eth0): DHCPv4 state changed reboot -> expire
Aug 1 04:00:08 ironton NetworkManager[1261]: <info> (eth0): device state change: 8 -> 9 (reason 6)
Aug 1 04:00:08 ironton NetworkManager[1261]: <info> Marking connection 'System eth0' invalid because IP configuration expired.

I have set up an ubuntu server running PPTP Server for VPN connections. I can successfully connect from a laptop within the LAN, but taking that same machine to an internet connection and trying to connect back in does not work. The only difference is that when I connect from within the network, I am obviously using the server's LAN (non-routable) address, and when I am connecting from outside the network (from Verizon Business DSL ), I am using the Comcast connection's static IP address.
I have a static IP address on a Comcast Business Class internet connection. Router is set to forward pptp and GRE ports.
Works:
VPN Server <- Laptop
iPhone -> Internet -> Router -> VPN Server
Does not work:
Laptop -> Internet -> Router -> VPN Server
Here is the weird thing. I have an iPhone that connects flawlessly every time through it's AT&T data connection. The laptop however, gets to "verifying username and password", and then returns error 619. It seems that there is an issue only when going through the router using the PPTP client built into MS windows.

I recently installed Kubuntu 10.10 on my machine, and I configured the PPTP VPN connection through which I connect to the internet. I can successfully connect, but it works really slowly. Slower than it does on Windows 7 on the same computer, with the same settings for the PPTP dialer. In about 20 minutes after I connect, the connection fails and even the modem restarts itself. I tried setting the MTU for the pptp connection to 1400 (I checked, and 1372 is the maximum value before the packets start to fragment + 28 bytes for the IP/ICMP headers), but nothing seems to help.
