PPTP connects but cant mount share or even ping hosts

[surfingcaliforniacoa]

I installed pptp-1.7.2-81 today and configured it and i connected to my windows VPN server successfully (I can log into the VPN server and see my connection).

And tailing the log I also see its connected:

Code: Select all

Apr 19 19:58:57 CHARLESCENTOS pppd[27807]: pppd 2.4.5 started by user1, uid 0
Apr 19 19:58:57 CHARLESCENTOS pppd[27807]: Using interface ppp0

Apr 19 19:59:02 CHARLESCENTOS ntpd[1959]: Listen normally on 13 ppp0 10.1.68.219 UDP 123

But i cant mount a share or even ping any host on the network -

I am able to ping yahoo.com whether i am connected on the VPN or not, so I am not sure why I cant ping or connect to any host on the network after I get connected to the VPN.

I did set:

Code: Select all

ip route add default dev ppp0

- so all traffic should be going through this tunnel.

Not sure where to start troubleshooting, and any help would be greatly appreciated.

I'd start by uninstalling PPTP (which has been broken as a security protocol for over a decade) and installing OpenVPN (which is actually secure).

Other then that, no clue, you haven't posted enough info to hazard a guess.
