Re: VPN / PPTP

[anthony]

Thanks for the help. I think I was making a typo initially I managed to re-compile my 2.6.15 kernel with the mppe modules and now the tunnel works. Something must be wrong with my pptpconfig config still as I can authenticate and ping but not reach any of the services on the office LAN, like my mail fileserver etc. But this is probably something I should sort out with my sysadmin ;)

thanks again
Anthony

I am running Debian 2.6.16 kernel (unstable) and this does include the
ppp_mppe module.

To check if your kernel has this module do:/sbin/modprobe -l | grep mppe
/lib/modules/2.6.15-1-486/kernel/drivers/net/ppp_mppe.ko


/sbin/modprobe -l | grep mppe

This should return "ppp_mppe.ko". If it does, then just do (as root:)

/sbin/modprobe ppp_mppe


Hope this helps,
