Topic: VPN Problem: Getting the firewalls IP assigned when I VPN

[Mark Lee]

Hi all,

strangeproblem, did a fresh install of SME 5.5 with all the latest updates.

The firewalls IP is 192.168.111.1

l've got DHCP scope set for 192.168.111.10-100

First for some reason I get connected as 192.168.111.1 (same address as firewall) whenever I VPN into the box... so nothing works.

Then on the next try I get connected as .2

So I'm guessing something is wrong...

Also, is there anyway to force pptpd to give out IPs out of the DHCP scope? IPs above 100 would be great...

Thanks.

Mark

Also,

just noticed that even when I get a .2 IP the default gateway also becomes .2

Strange...

To change the ip's assigned to a ip connection, the file you need to edit is the template equiv for /etc/pptpd.conf
