Hi I am having a hard time getting PPTP to work in a lab environemnt. I have two linux systems connected directly. I have installed one of them as server and the other one as client from the directions given at sourceforge. My problem: since i dont have a modem i dont have a ppp interface. pptp tries to use ppp0 as a tunnel interface. so when i try to start a pptp connection it gives me something like this. [root@localhost ppp]# pppd pty 'pptp 1.1.1.101 --nolaunchpppd' call pptp1 debug dump logfd 2 nodetach pppd options in effect: debug # (from command line) nodetach # (from command line) logfd 2 # (from command line) dump # (from command line) noauth # (from /etc/ppp/options.pptp) refuse-chap # (from /etc/ppp/options.pptp) refuse-mschap # (from /etc/ppp/options.pptp) refuse-eap # (from /etc/ppp/options.pptp) name netscreen # (from /etc/ppp/peers/pptp1) remotename PPTP # (from /etc/ppp/peers/pptp1) # (from /etc/ppp/options.pptp) pty pptp 1.1.1.101 --nolaunchpppd # (from /etc/ppp/peers/pptp1) mru 1490 # (from /etc/ppp/peers/pptp1) mtu 1490 # (from /etc/ppp/peers/pptp1) ipparam pptp1 # (from /etc/ppp/peers/pptp1) nobsdcomp # (from /etc/ppp/options.pptp) nodeflate # (from /etc/ppp/options.pptp) using channel 9 Using interface ppp0 Connect: ppp0 <--> /dev/pts/3 Child process pptp 1.1.1.101 --nolaunchpppd (pid 26619) terminated with signal 15 Modem hangup Connection terminated. Although i have pppd in the processes i dont have any ppp interface. pppd version 2.4.2. What should i do?
