Hi! I have printers, files shared to all windoze platforms in my group. Now I want to also access the samba box via a VPN. So configuration: NT----PPTP---NT/RAS-----Linux 7 Any experience with this type of config? Quick test shows the samba host but when I try to access it the network path is not found. Thanks! ++Dirk

Hello, We can't connect to our pptp server through our CentOS gateway with a XP client. The linux client is working but not the XP client. I know for a fact that the pptp server is not the problem because if I connect the XP machine directly to the Internet the pptp vpn is working. I know about the pptp-conntrack-nat patch, I compiled the 2.4.9 kernel, with patch-o-matic-ng-20060511.tar.bz2

Hi all, Just wondering if VPN inside VPN is possible? I've created PPTP VPN in the office. Then from home, first I need to use company's official AT&T VPN. Then after connected, I fire up the PPTP VPN client. Got connected, but cannot ping the PPTP gateway, and half minute later the PPTP got disconnected. No obvious error message in the PPTP log. Thank you.

Hi, I am facing a task of choosing vpn server. I do not know which is better. The one distributed with CentOS4.5 only supports pppd (or maybe pptp but I cannot find it). If* *I want to use PPTP or L2TP, which one should I choose? OpenVPN? Poptop? Thanks. -------------- next part -------------- An HTML attachment was scrubbed... URL:

First, I assume that you will be running NAT at both locations, if that is not the case, then the configuration will change. When you said VPN, are you using PPTP or IPSEC? Microsoft supports PPTP. In order to connect a PC over VPN to the office, which has a PPTP VPN Server, you will need to runs VPN software. After it is run, the PC obtains a new IP address from your office, If you are using

Hi everyone.. i have followed this instructions http://devel.elucid8design.com/el8/devel/tutorials/pptp.php to build a vpn server with shorewall. the configuration of my network is: vpn server (with shorewall installed) with 2 interfaces: 192.168.1.2 --> net zone 192.168.0.x --> loc zone when i try to

Hi All, This is a general VPN question; PPTP VPNs seem to be very easy to set up with CentOS as the VPN server and the built-in windose client, but how do list members feel about the security vunerabilities reported with the MS implementation? Specifically the 6 problems reported here : http://www.schneier.com/pptp-faq.html or maybe im being paranoid? Would any of you roll this solution out

I have a Cisco VPN Concentrator 3000, It has the ability to auth PPTP tunnels off of a WinNT Domain controler. Well, I to use my samba3 box instead of a WinNT box. I have samba3 running off of an LDAP back end. Anyway, I setup the VPN Concentrator to auth off of the samba box, and when I test it with the test option, and it works, but when I try to auth a pptp tunnel, it fails saying the

I''ve got what I think is a fairly simple home network configuration with one Linux box functioning as the firewall, VPN server, DHCP server and file/print server. I am having trouble configuring both a VPN server (PopTop) and the firewall rules for a W2K PPTP VPN client. The VPN server runs on the firewall machine and the VPN client runs on a W2K machine behind the firewall. The VPN

Greetings List Members, I''ll firstly apologise if this isn''t the place that I should be posting this message but here goes. What I want to do is have a VPN (PPTP/IPSEC/CIPE/etc) server, but it must support more than one simultaneous connection. I currently have a PPTP VPN server setup that has port 1723 and protocol 47 DNAT''d through to the internal IP

I upgraded a fileserver I admin to samba 2.2.5 from 2.0.7 almost a week ago and whlst I was on site today something very strange happened. I found that I couldn't browse anything on network neighbourhood from any of the machines and looking at the log files it appears that a windows98 machine managed to elect itself local master. I have got the usual: local master = yes domain master

Hi all, I read the setup at http://www.blackh0le.net/articles/vpn-dun-howto.html to setup my VPN. However, I'm having a problem which I think is proxy-ARP not working. I like to ask you to see if you know what's going on. When I ping 10.77.1.1 from windows XP machine the packets get to the 10.77.1.1 machine, but they don't have a return path to get back. When I do ping the windows

And openvpn. Avoid ipsec as it's too complex and pptp is unsecure. Eero 4.4.2016 9.55 ip.

hi guys, I'm having trouble accessing samba share files from a windows xp client using a vpn pptp connection. I configured samba and it works excellent on the LAN but when i connect through pptp and access the samba server \\192.168.3.1 I can see the shared folders but when i try to browse them, windows hangs (4 a change!) for a while then returns "the specified network name

My goal is to make VPN access to our Samba PDC (FreeBSD 7.0) so that users can access there home shares from Windows clients. I have read the instructions at http://samba.org/ftp/unpacked/lorikeet/pppd/final-report.pdf, but I can't make it work. Don't know if is due to my lack of skills or has something to do with the Popop functionality in FreeBSD. Following the instructions, i made a

I am looking for the optimal VPN. Well it doens't have to be that elaborate. Just the best VPN. We currently have some customers using PPTP, some using openvpn, some using Cisco Any Connect and there are a few others. So my question is, if you have control of both ends (client and server) what is the best VPN to use? There are not too many requirements, but a big one is The VPN must return

Hi All, Just joined the list to try and solve a problem.

Hi, I'm trying to set up browsing across subnets to provide an 'enterprise'-wide (sorry for the MS term ;-) browse list / Network Neighbourhood. I've read BROWSING.TXT, but I can't see how machines on different subnets in different domains/workgroups sync up (using Samba, anyway). On my local subnet, I've set up a clunky old Linux 386 (Samba 1.9.18p8) as the browse

Hi Tom, I nearly completed the test and installation related to http://www.shorewall.net/PPTP.htm. However, there is no serious problem when it is operated as it is in the general companies, but there is Client Program for MS-Window that is operated only by Public IP. So I am very concerned about it. I would like to use Internet through Gateway in (B) as local computers in (A) receive Public

Hi all, I have Samba 2.0.7 running on Solaris 7 Ultra 450 , with NT4 ( 1 PDC and a BDC ) servers, and Windows 2000 Pro, NT4 W/S, Win 98 as clients and a mixture of Sun workstations.
