Hello all, I am having an issue getting my pptp vpn setup. I am running FC3 with kernel 2.6.11-1.27. On the other end I have a FortiGate firewall that I am trying to connect to. I have downloaded all the required components from: and installed them in the proper order. This is the error message that I am receiving:
Using interface ppp0
pptpconfig: monitoring interface ppp0
Connect: ppp0 <--> /dev/pts/1
MPPE 128-bit stateless compression enabled
local IP address 'local vpn ip'
remote IP address 'fortigate address'
pptpconfig: pppd process exit status 0 (started)
ip route add 'fortigate address' via 'my gateway' dev eth0 src 'my ip address'
RTNETLINK answers: File exists
pptpconfig: command failed, exit code 2
pptpconfig: routes added to remote networks
pptpconfig: usepeerdns was set, but /{var/run,etc}/ppp/resolv.conf was not readable
pptpconfig: connected
pptpconfig: restoring routing and DNS configuration
ip route del 'fortigate address' via 'my gateway' dev eth0 src 'my ip address'
RTNETLINK answers: No such process
pptpconfig: command failed, exit code 2
As soon as it gets connected my bytes out and packets out start increasing very rapidly. I think I might have found the reason for this, but, as I am somewhat new to linux, I do not know how to fix it. Here is the link to the possible problem:
I really appreciate everyone's time and energy. Any advice at all is greatly appreciated.
Thanks a lot,
Chris
