Hey all,

I have been working on getting Gentoo to connect to my company's MS PPTP VPN. I believe get authenticated/connected because a local ppp0 interface gets created and the interface gets assigned an appropriate IP address and the MS end sees the connection as persistent, alive, active. The problem is, I can't make any traffic reach the other end of the tunnel. I can ping the IP address assigned to the ppp0 interface and that is it.

/etc/ppp/options.pptp:
Code:
lock
noauth
refuse-eap
refuse-chap
refuse-mschap
nobsdcomp
nodeflate

/etc/ppp/chap-secrets:
Code:

DOMAIN\\soloslinger PPTP 1234 *
PPTP DOMAIN\\soloslinger 1234 *

/etc/ppp/peers/myvpn:
Code:

pty "pptp vpn.publicip.com --nolaunchpppd"
name DOMAIN\\soloslinger
remotename PPTP
file /etc/ppp/options.pptp
ipparam myvpn

My network before connecting:
Code:
Kernel IP routing table

I have done quite a bit of searching around trying solutions to this; changing default routes and such but haven't been able to find the solution. That being said it is possible my mistake is there. Can anyone give me some hints as to what I might possibly be missing?

Worse still, it seems as if a few folk have bumped into this on this forum, but the thread feels dead and there wasn't a cut and dry [SOLVED] in there. https://forums.gentoo.org/viewtopic-t-738641.html I think I have the same problem.

I appreciate any help,

Currently your routing will only allow you to talk to the PPTP server itself. You probably want to setup a route to the rest of the remote network as well. Try this command

ip route add 10.10.5.0/24 dev ppp0

Unfortunately, that wasn't it. The route got added to the table but I still couldn't ping the other side.

Welp, I was advised that I might need to do some snazzy advanced routing via iptables. I am kinda new to iptables, I don't suppose anyone could give me some pointers on how to make this work?

Still lookin for thoughts on this if anyone wouldn't mind spending some knowledge on me.
