Title: Getting The Z On A Vpn
Post by: wiredog on April 26, 2005, 10:32:49 am
Trying to get the Zaurii (C1000 and C3000) on a VPN using PPTP (thanks, Slasckwaresupport, for the binary).  So, do we configure it to use PPPoE (/usr/sbin/adsl-connect) (which, btw, may have PPTP built in) or PPP?  

"Reply hazy, ask again later."  

In the past, when I've been trying to get a configuration running on a device, I've had a known working configuration to test against.  This time, I don't.  Is it the server that's the problem?  The client?  Which communication layer is broken?  And how is it broken?  Which (of many) config scripts do I need to configure, and how?  It's been 7 years since I've configured PPP scripts by hand, and I've never done PPPoE.  Oh, and the ethernet device is a wireless card.  Which adds to the fun.  

Even more fun:  The server is a Windows 2003 box.  My test box at home is a Debian box.  Does Debian even have PPP or PPPoE server daemons? If so, how do I configure them?  Going to be a fun week.

Unless some kind soul here has already done this and can tell me how...
