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
