First i had some problems with the beta's after the latest official release.
the problem was autoauth which did not give ip numbers to all my wifi users.

after going back up the official there was no problem.

now i did try the beta again but now can't i connect with VPN/pptp anymore.
i downgraded again to the official and VPN/pptp is working.
maybe a little problem in the latest beta's???

I am running the latest beta on a desktop system and DHCP Auto-auth, VPN, and Hotspot are all working properly.

radev,

What error messages does your PPtP server show when you try to connect?

I hope i can find the time to install and test a new machine, and see if the pptp server failes to work on that install to.

but in the original installation the problem is thil there

The problem is MPPE.

the syslog tels me that MPPE is configured but not supported by the kernel

Changed MPPE mode in MPPE Statefull (was MPPE Stateless)

VPN is now working

It is something we are currently looking into, and should have it resolved in one of the upcoming BETAs.

talking about vpn. I have two feature requests..

1. An option at the vpn client which enables or disables the vpn connection to be the default route.

2. An option to have static routes set using ppp0. currently static routes that point to pptp server ip's or clients is not possible.

Thanks

any reason why defining static routes using the ppp interface is not possible?

thanks
Bjorn

ppp server is 10.0.18.1
connected client is 10.0.18.2 with a complete range of other subnets.

would like to have static routes defined like:

192.168.3.0/24 gw 10.0.18.2

but the static routes windows shows me a !

Please help!

On the pptp server, you can assign one or more static routes to your pptp clients using the radius Framed-Route attribute. Have one Framed-Route attribute for each route you wish to add.

Do you have an example of what i should use in Radius?

Do you have an example of what i should use in Radius?

Attribute is in this form (as a string)

Framed-Route "<network> <netmask> <gateway> <metric>"

With pptp, we know the gateway, and auto-set the metric, so they are ignored.

To add a route to your pptp client for the 10.10.1.0/24 subnet, add this attribute under their radius profile:
Framed-Route "10.10.1.0 255.255.255.0"

This method will work for both pptp and pppoe sessions.

Not a problem. The MPPE issue is slated to be fixed before the v2.00.3 final release.

Thanks!

Is this related to the pptp client being broken in the 2.00.3 betas?
