Hi, I have a slight problem. Pulling my hair out! I have set up the "poptop" pptp server on our rh7.3 server here which is sitting behind our DSL router/firewall. Had to modify the kernel and upgrade ppp but got there in the end. I can connect no problem to the pptp server from outside the network and ping all devices on the LAN and print to IP printers from beyond the router. The pptp server has a range of remote IP's which are outside the scope of the dhcp range. dhcpd is also running on the same machine.
The problem I am having is that I cannot access SMB shares from beyond the router. We are running WINS on an NT Server here and I have put the following line into /etc/resolv.conf
ms-wins 192.168.0.2
dhcpd is dishing out the following information: Dynamic IP, Subnet, Gateway, DNS, WINS, WINS Node Type. (This dishes out this information correctly to machines on the LAN btw).
It seems to me as though the rh box is not talking correctly to the WINS Server as far pptp connections are concerned. One reason behind my thinking is that if I do an ipconfig /all on my XP machine at home it says the following:
PPP adaptor pptp:
IP Address : 192.168.0.201
Subnet Mask : 255.255.255.255
Gateway : 192.168.0.201
Whereas it should read something like this:
IP Address : 192.168.0.201
Subnet Mask : 255.255.255.0
Gateway : 192.168.0.254
DHCP Server : 192.168.0.3
DNS Servers : 194.153.0.18
: 194.153.1.10
Primary WINS Server : 192.168.0.2
In /etc/pptp.conf I have input the local IP as the IP of the pptp server itself. I have put the remote IP as 192.168.201-220 (This is outside the dhcpd scope which is 192.168.0.100 - 192.168.0.200). Should I put the range of remote IP's for pptp within the DHCP scope? Should I just give up?
Any help would be much appreciated.
