| Nevermind. I took the "require-mppe-128" line out of the peer file and it's working now. For some reason the option worked with the old version of pppd. |

| Ai-ai-ai! kernel-2.6.13 is out there... what chance of a patch for mppe-mppc now that polbox appears to be deceased? |

| I think it may be a matter of simply changing all the references to 2.6.12 in linux-2.6.12-mppe-mppc-1.3.patch to say 2.6.13. Has anyone tested this yet? |

| Might just risk it if there's no other option. Will report back when I get time... |

Actually, the patch for 2.6.12 works [without modifications] with 2.6.13. I just tested it. |

Cool, thanks for the confirmation. Couldn't see any refs to 2.6.12 apart from the header comments, so figured it'd be safe. Nice to know for sure though  |

It looks like the mppc/mppe patch is available here now:
http://mppe-mppc.alphacron.de/
There is a patch there for 2.6.13 |

|
|
I've configured my ppp-stuff correctly: using 'pon <PEERNAME>' and a route add command (added in ip-up.local) connects me to the VPN server.
However, when I use '/etc/init.d/net.ppp0 start' doesn't launch my VPN connection..
my net.ppp0 config file:
| Code: | lunar7 ~ # cat /etc/conf.d/net.ppp0
# /etc/conf.d/net.ppp0:
# $Header: /var/cvsroot/gentoo-x86/net-dialup/ppp/files/confd.ppp0,v 1.3 2005/02/06 09:22:13 mrness Exp $
# Config file for /etc/init.d/net.ppp0
PEER="WNBVPN" # Define peer (aka ISP)

PERSIST="yes" # Redial after being dropped
ONDEMAND="no" # Only bring the interface up on demand?
#MODEMPORT="/dev/ttyS1" # TTY device modem is connected to
#LINESPEED="115200" # Speed pppd should try to connect at

# will work on something more secure later
# on. 700 permission on /etc/init.d/net.ppp0

# leave blank for leased-line operation.

#NETMASK="" # Netmask

# will have to create these files by hand then.
AUTOCHATSCRIPT="yes" # By default this script iwll generate
# /etc/ppp/chat-${PEER} automatically. Set to "no"
# if you experience problems, or need specialized

TEMPLATEDIR=/etc/ppp
|
Could anyone tell me what I'm doing wrong?
(I know, I could fix this using an ordinary bash-script using pon. But i like to keep things gentooish..) |

| I am stuck behind a proxy and firewall of our uni. We connect through a VPN but as my machine is already here I CAN NOT use portage to emerge pptpclient and its dependencies. So if anyone could give me a rundown on how I can go about installing it without using portage i'd appreciate it. |

What about if you set
| Code: | | export http_proxy="YOUR.PROXY:PORT" |
in /etc/profile, and then source this file?

| Problem with that is I'll still won't be able to connect as we dial in to a VPN to get online. Also, our proxy is configured by a script which I have checked and there are 3 different ones that handle my connection at any time. |

| Posted: Thu Oct 20, 2005 4:31 am Post subject: My success story |
|
|
Here is how I did it.
| Code: | echo 'net-dialup/ppp mppe-mppc' >> /etc/portage/package.use
echo 'net-dialup/ppp ~x86' >> /etc/portage/package.keywords
echo 'net-dialup/pptpclient ~x86' >> /etc/portage/package.keywords
vi /etc/make.conf
--- add to USE: dba gd
ACCEPT_KEYWORDS="~x86" emerge pptpconfig -a
|
Patch kernel
| Code: | cd /usr/src
mkdir patches
cd patches/
wget http://mppe-mppc.alphacron.de/linux-2.6.13-mppe-mppc-1.3.patch.gz
gunzip linux-2.6.13-mppe-mppc-1.3.patch.gz
cd ../linux
patch -p1 < ../patches/linux-2.6.13-mppe-mppc-1.3.patch
|
Build kernel
| Code: | make menuconfig
genkernel --save-config --kernel-config=/usr/src/linux/config-current --gensplash=emergence --bootloader=grub all
|
Reboot: Make sure grub.conf points to proper kernels, reboot into new kernel.
php_gtk.so not found! After reboot, upon launching pptpconfig, I got an error
| Code: | # pptpconfig
Warning: dl(): Unable to load dynamic library '/usr/lib/php/extensions/no-debug-non-zts-20020429/php_gtk.so' - /usr/lib/php/extensions/no-debug-non-zts-20020429/php_gtk.so: cannot open shared object file: No such file or directory in /usr/bin/pptpconfig.php on line 31
Fatal error: Cannot instantiate non-existent class: gdkcolor in /usr/bin/pptpconfig.php on line 96
|
Found that package dev-php4/php-gtk is installed, and provides the missing file, but at a different location. So symlinked it.
| Code: | less /var/db/pkg/dev-php4/php-gtk-1.0.2/CONTENTS
ll /usr/lib/php4/lib/php/extensions/no-debug-non-zts-20020429/php_gtk.so
cd /usr/lib/php/extensions/no-debug-non-zts-20020429
ln -s /usr/lib/php4/lib/php/extensions/no-debug-non-zts-20020429/php_gtk.so php_gtk.so
|
Save your /etc/resolv.conf somewhere. Thank me later 
Configure pptp: Launch pptpconfig (as root). Fill up config info
| Quote: | * Server
** Name: MyCompany
** Server: vpn.mycompany.com
** Domain: MYCOMPANYDOMAIN
** Username: agautam
* Routing
** All through tunnel
* DNS
** Uncheck auto
** Servers: 10.1.2.200 10.1.2.204 192.168.1.1
** Options: domain mycompany.com |
Added my local DNS server (192.168.1.1) to the end of the DNS server list. The pptpconfig would occasionally clobber my /etc/resolv.conf file if I didn't do this.
MPPE workaround: pptpconfig failed to recognize mppe options in config files. Uncommenting them worked just fine. You would need to do this everytime you modify the configuration.
| Code: | vi /etc/ppp/peers/MyCompany
--- comment out require-mppe
vi /etc/ppp/options.pptp
--- comment out require-mppe |
Start PPTP connection: I compiled kernel stuff as modules. So you MAY need to load the modules before connecting. The following will load all dependencies too. First try wothout the modprobe command. pptpconfig should autoload these modules.
| Code: | modprobe ppp_mppe_mppc
pptpconfig
--- double click on MyCompany entry --- |
Hope this helps someone.

Hello,
I am having a problem doing anything useful in the remote network. In particular, I can ping IP addresses in the remote network, but I cannot SSH, connect the IMAP server, etc. Any suggestions?
UPDATE: Nevermind. Have to add a route for every host I need to access, I guess. |

FYI, I installed kernel 2.6.14-r2, and the 2.6.13 patch works fine with it.

Do you tried 2.6.14 final? It does not work for me. |

Sorry, I do not understand. I applied the patch to x86 sources. Since it is -r2, it is definitely final. It's the second release of final, right?

I have applied 2.6.13 patch to final 2.6.14 kernel and it doesn't work. (Many hunks) |

Sorry, I don't know what else to say. I applied linux-2.6.13-mppe-mppc-1.3.patch (gunzipped it first) to linux-2.6.14-gentoo-r2 and it applied without complaint. I've successfully VPN'd into work after building this kernel:
/usr/src>uname -a
Linux pvr 2.6.14-gentoo-r2 #1 SMP PREEMPT Tue Nov 15 00:12:26 EST 2005 i686 Intel(R) Pentium(R) 4 CPU 3.00GHz GenuineIntel GNU/Linux

I've tried my VPN using the MPPE support built into 2.6.15-rc2 kernel and it works.
The symbol is located here
| Code: | │ Symbol: PPP_MPPE [=m] │
│ Prompt: PPP MPPE compression (encryption) (EXPERIMENTAL) │
│ Defined at drivers/net/Kconfig:2526 │
│ Depends on: NETDEVICES && PPP && EXPERIMENTAL │
│ Location: │
│ -> Device Drivers │
│ -> Network device support │
│ -> Network device support (NETDEVICES [=y]) │
│ -> PPP (point-to-point protocol) support (PPP [=m]) │
│ Selects: CRYPTO && CRYPTO_SHA1 && CRYPTO_ARC4 │ |
I had to modprobe the ppp_mppe manually (module name has changed).
I initially had a problem when trying to ping the other side.
| Code: | rcvd [proto=0xd] e0 d5 18 51 c0 c5 04 57 03 c2 32 14 0e 12 2d fe 6f e8 32 c8 9b 04 63 be 86 9d fb e5 7a ff be 76 ...

..... |
As suggested here I tried to add the
option to the /etc/ppp/options.pptp called by my peer profile, but this didn't solved (even with no128,no56). Adding
made the trick instead.
Hope this may be useful to someone else.

If you're asking to me (I'm not sure), using PPTP Client, as described in the first post on this topic, except that starting from 2.6.15-rc1 you don't need to patch the kernel no more, because MPPE support is included. You may find more info on this here.

Thanks dgaffuri, I was indeed asking you. I just wanted to know if you were using pptpclient or an init script like /etc/init.d/net.ppp0
cheers,
