I have installed vpnc to connect to an employer's Cisco VPN system, and it seems to make the connection, but after connecting I can't ping the gateway nor anything beyond it. The symptom seems to resemble what is described in the Routing section of http://www.cs.rpi.edu/~flemej/fbsd-cisco-vpn.pdf, but since that is using a completely different setup on the FreeBSD side I have no idea whether the remedy described there is applicable (nor, if it is, how to determine the addresses to use in this case).
Does this look at all familiar to anyone? I didn't find anything that seemed applicable in recent ports@ or questions@ archives. (I have XX'd out potentially-sensitive material in the following.) # /usr/local/sbin/vpnc Enter password for x...@xxx.xxx.com: Connect Banner: | *** XXX, Inc.

The addresses in those last two "add net" lines seem to be the nameservers: $ cat /etc/resolv.conf #...@vpnc_generated@ -- this file is generated by vpnc # and will be overwritten by vpnc # as long as the above mark is intact nameserver ZZZ.ZZZ.57.128 nameserver ZZZ.ZZZ.57.133 search XXX.com which leads me to wonder whether they really ought to be "add host" -- for that matter it's not clear they're needed at all since they should be covered by the "add net ZZZ.ZZZ.0.0" -- but I guess that may not make much difference when I can't even ping my own gateway (tun0) address :( $ ping ZZZ.ZZZ.233.42 PING ZZZ.ZZZ.233.42 (ZZZ.ZZZ.233.42): 56 data bytes ^C --- ZZZ.ZZZ.233.42 ping statistics --- 4 packets transmitted, 0 packets received, 100% packet loss $ ping ZZZ.ZZZ.57.128 PING ZZZ.ZZZ.57.128 (ZZZ.ZZZ.57.128): 56 data bytes ^C --- ZZZ.ZZZ.57.128 ping statistics --- 10 packets transmitted, 0 packets received, 100% packet loss $ ping ZZZ.ZZZ.57.133 PING ZZZ.ZZZ.57.133 (ZZZ.ZZZ.57.133): 56 data bytes ^C --- ZZZ.ZZZ.57.133 ping statistics --- 27 packets transmitted, 0 packets received, 100% packet loss $ ifconfig -a xl0: flags=8843<UP,BROADCAST,RUNNING,SIMPLEX,MULTICAST> mtu 1500 options=9<RXCSUM,VLAN_MTU> inet6 fe80::2b0:d0ff:fe28:ad4f%xl0 prefixlen 64 scopeid 0x1 inet 192.168.200.61 netmask 0xffffff00 broadcast 192.168.200.255 ether 00:b0:d0:28:ad:4f media: Ethernet autoselect (10baseT/UTP) status: active plip0: flags=108810<POINTOPOINT,SIMPLEX,MULTICAST,NEEDSGIANT> mtu 1500 lo0: flags=8049<UP,LOOPBACK,RUNNING,MULTICAST> mtu 16384 inet6 ::1 prefixlen 128 inet6 fe80::1%lo0 prefixlen 64 scopeid 0x3 inet 127.0.0.1 netmask 0xff000000 tun0: flags=8051<UP,POINTOPOINT,RUNNING,MULTICAST> mtu 1412 inet6 fe80::2b0:d0ff:fe28:ad4f%tun0 prefixlen 64 scopeid 0x4 inet ZZZ.ZZZ.233.42 --> ZZZ.ZZZ.233.42 netmask 0xffffffff Opened by PID 24635 Meanwhile I _can_ ping YYY.YYY.127.228, which I guess is the concentrator's public IP address: $ ping YYY.YYY.127.228 PING YYY.YYY.127.228 (YYY.YYY.127.228): 56 data bytes 64 bytes from YYY.YYY.127.228: icmp_seq=0 ttl=116 time=53.226 ms 64 bytes from YYY.YYY.127.228: icmp_seq=1 ttl=116 time=52.982 ms 64 bytes from YYY.YYY.127.228: icmp_seq=2 ttl=116 time=53.130 ms ^C --- YYY.YYY.127.228 ping statistics --- 3 packets transmitted, 3 packets received, 0% packet loss round-trip min/avg/max/stddev = 52.982/53.113/53.226/0.100 ms $ netstat -r -n Routing tables Internet: Destination Gateway Flags Refs Use Netif Expire default 192.168.200.254 UGS 0 2209723 xl0 <snip lines corresponding to snipped "add net" lines above> 127.0.0.1 127.0.0.1 UH 0 2 lo0 ZZZ.ZZZ ZZZ.ZZZ.233.42 UGS 0 0 tun0 ZZZ.ZZZ.57.128/32 ZZZ.ZZZ.233.42 UGS 0 19 tun0 ZZZ.ZZZ.57.133/32 ZZZ.ZZZ.233.42 UGS 0 18 tun0 ZZZ.ZZZ.233.42 ZZZ.ZZZ.233.42 UH 59 20 tun0 YYY.YYY.127/27 ZZZ.ZZZ.233.42 UGS 0 0 tun0 YYY.YYY.127.96/27 ZZZ.ZZZ.233.42 UGS 0 0 tun0 YYY.YYY.127.224/27 ZZZ.ZZZ.233.42 UGS 0 0 tun0 YYY.YYY.127.228 192.168.200.254 UGHS 0 106 xl0 192.168.200 link#1 UC 0 0 xl0 192.168.200.254 00:09:5b:a1:c8:9e UHLW 3 4318078 xl0 1148 192.168.200.255 ff:ff:ff:ff:ff:ff UHLWb 1 3 xl0 _______________________________________________ freebsd-ports@freebsd.org mailing list http://lists.freebsd.org/mailman/listinfo/freebsd-ports To unsubscribe, send any mail to "freebsd-ports-unsubscr...@freebsd.org"
