On another note, I tried pptp few days ago and did not succeed, then I moved to mpd and it has working. ___ freebsd-questions@freebsd.org mailing list http://lists.freebsd.org/mailman/listinfo/freebsd-questions To unsubscribe, send any mail to [EMAIL PROTECTED]

This sounded like what I needed to do. When I run the pptp client, it doesn't appear to do anything. I did the following: cd /usr/ports/net/pptpclient make install clean cd /usr/ports/net/rdesktop make install clean rehash I found these instructions at FreeBSD Diary and tried to follow them: http://www.freebsddiary.org/pptp.php My connection information is as follows: My workplace's outside VPN Name: vpn.wobs-work.com My workplace's outside VPN external IP: 100.200.300.16 My workplace Username: wob My workplace Password: wobpassword My Workplace's Windows XP Pro PC: 5.10.15.79 My Workplaces Internal Subnet: 5.10.15.x My home FreeBSD's IP: 192.168.1.25 My FreeBSD's machine NIC: fxp0 My home router's IP: 192.168.1.1 So I made a /etc/ppp/ppp.conf file: WORKVPN: set authname wob If you are authenticating against a domain change the above to set authname domain\\wob set authkey wobpassword My auth key is in double quotes. Possibly due to enclosed punctuation I forget. So try: set authkey wobpassword set timeout 0 set ifaddr 0 0 add 100.200.300.16/24 HISADDR change the above add to: add 5.10.15.0/24 HISADDR Should be the subnet you will be given an IP address on. Use appropriate mask. alias enable yes Then I ran it as root: cd /etc/ppp /usr/local/sbin/pptp vpn.wobs-work.com WORKVPN The above is what I do although I use the IP address. Name 'should' work assuming name resolution is good. The program seems to run for about 5 seconds, then returns to shell prompt. I then tried: /usr/local/sbin/pptp vpn.wobs-work.com WORKVPN --loglevel 2 and: /usr/local/sbin/pptp 100.200.300.16 WORKVPN --loglevel 2 But it still did not print out anything. ifconfig tun0 displays: tun0: flags=8010POINTOPOINT,MULTICAST mtu 1500 I think I might have to add a route command once the tunnel is up. My route should be taken care of for you. understanding is, is that the pptp client is not supposed to return to the shell prompt until I cancel it with a CTRL-C. true enough. Or you can background it and kill it later. Though I had mixed results (cores on occasion) killing it manually. But it always ran fine while up and running. I normally use my home Windows XP Pro box to connect to my works VPN, and then use RemoteDesktop to connect to my Work PC - so I know the connections work under Windows. I want to get rid of my home Windows box. Any suggestions? I'm kinda new, but I am trying to learn. once its up and running, your rdesktop command will look like: rdesktop -f -a 16 ip_address - or if like me you run it on alt port - rdesktop -f -a 16 ip_address:port machine names of course work with functional name resolution. -- Regards, Eric ___ freebsd-questions@freebsd.org mailing list http://lists.freebsd.org/mailman/listinfo/freebsd-questions To unsubscribe, send any mail to [EMAIL PROTECTED]

Hi Eric, WORKVPN: set authname wob If you are authenticating against a domain change the above to set authname domain\\wob I had left out my domain, and had one IP address wrong - now it works!

Is there a way to connect to a Microsoft VPN?
Hi, Is there a way to connect my FreeBSD 5.4 box to a Microsoft VPN? Basically, I use FreeBSD at home, and want to connect to my XP Pro box at work. On Linux, I think they have a VPN program you can run, then you can use rdesktop to connect to a Windows host on the VPN LAN. On FreeBSD, I have used rdesktop to control a XP Pro box, but it was in my house. I tried this a year ago, but I don't think there was a way to get the VPN connection going, unless I bought a VPN-router, or was running Windows inside VMWare. I also tried to make a VPN connection from inside QEMU, but it did not work. Is amyone able to connect a home FreeBSD box to a remoted XP Pro box that is on a VPN? I have a DSL modem, and a router from my ISP. I might be able to buy another router that supports VPN's, and add it to my home LAN, and plug my FreeBSD box in to it (or buy another NIC and plug the 2nd NIC in to it). thanks! ___ freebsd-questions@freebsd.org mailing list http://lists.freebsd.org/mailman/listinfo/freebsd-questions To unsubscribe, send any mail to [EMAIL PROTECTED]
