VPN (PPTP) with FC4

[ganja420farmer]

Hello all,

I followed all the instrutions at : http://pptpclient.sourceforge.net/howto-fedora-core-4.phtml

And set it all up (used the same settings as my XP box) but I get an error saying :

Using interface ppp0pptpconfig: monitoring interface ppp0
Connect: ppp0 <--> /dev/pts/2
LCP: timeout sending Config-Requests
Connection terminated.
pptpconfig: pppd process terminated by signal 10 (failed)
pptpconfig: SIGUSR1

Can anyone explain this to me? And even better, could someone point me in the right direction?

Thanks.

Ok well... after a couple days, still no response. Here's what I've tested:

I put the FC4 box on the same network that I would normally VPN into, and it connects perfectly, and I'm able to hit the boxes on the network, and oddly enough I can get to google.com and search, but NOWHERE ELSE!! Yes, you read that correctly, no where else. Not a single other webpage loads. EXCEPT, when I go by IP. So it looks like I'm just not resolving DNS over VPN. When I'm normally connected to DSL (not VPN) I can browse through name just find. I don't get it....

Then when I put the FC4 box on an outside DSL line, I get this error still:

Using interface ppp0pptpconfig: monitoring interface ppp0
Connect: ppp0 <--> /dev/pts/2
LCP: timeout sending Config-Requests
Connection terminated.
pptpconfig: pppd process terminated by signal 10 (failed)
pptpconfig: SIGUSR1

Not sure if this makes any difference, but I have the FC4 boxes joined to our Active Directory Domain. I can view the network, and connect to our servers just fine. Although, I'm also using VNC SERVER for pcanywhere related duties. Once again, I can connect to the machines using their IP address, but not by name. So 10.2.8.80 works, but fcop12.domain.net doesn't. Is this problem related?

Anyone??

Thanks.

So after much reading, it looks like what I'm trying to do is not possible. If anyone thinks they know how, please respond.

But I should (I assume) be able to browse the internet over VPN by name, and not just by IP.

Thoughts?

Hello,
I have a similar problems, but I can successfully establish the tunnel, but after that it immediately drops for apparently no reason.
I think it maybe a routing problem because to retry the tunnel I have to readd the default gateway route.
I''m not really sure what it is in windows it works perfectly.
I used the connection from pptp config. I enabled debug info, here's what I get:
can anyone help?
