WAN Miniport (PPTP) on FC10

Post by saquib_javed »

AOA All,

I have installed FC10 recently :D. But I am unable to browse any site from it. Actually for M$ wInDoWs my cablenet provider has a dialer that connects me to the internet.

Now for this I installed following rpms on my FC10

Code: Select all

NetworkManager-pptp-0.7.0-0.12.svn4229.fc10.i386.rpm
pptp-1.7.2-3.fc10.i386.rpm
and made a new vpn connection from the gnome network manager

connection is connected successfully and the desired ip is assigned

but the problem is that i still can't open any of the site not even google

my details are as follows

Code: Select all

eth0      Link encap:Ethernet  HWaddr 00:1B:A0:1B:DA:00  
          inet addr:172.16.xx.xxx  Bcast:172.16.255.255  Mask:255.255.0.0

          collisions:0 txqueuelen:3 
          RX bytes:90 (90.0 b)  TX bytes:96 (96.0 b)
and for my M$ wInDoWs is as follows

Code: Select all

Device Name : WAN Miniport (PPTP)
Device Type : vpn
Server Type : PPP
Transports : TCP/IP
Authentication : MD5 CHAP
Compression : (none)
PPP multilink framing : Off
Server IP address : 172.16.xx.xx

I directly connect pppoe from my linux box and it works fine for me. if you making this connection graphic mode then i think there is a option somewhere which states "Use this connection as default route" or something like that. You need to check that option then it might work. And yes make a traceroute to 2.2.2.2 and paste the result.

yes there is option for Routes under IPv4 Settings

which then asks for

Address, Prefix, Gateway and Metirc

but i dont know that what to enter there as i have no idea about the routes

anyways output for the command on M$ is as follows

Code: Select all

C:\>tracert 2.2.2.2

Tracing route to 2.2.2.2 over a maximum of 30 hops

Lolzz! You are adding your own ip address as your gateway! This is not fair.. add your network gateway as your default route!
