Hi gang. I'm pretty sure that I should be able to setup a VPN connection to my corporate network from Linux (Suse 9.1 to be exact), but am not having any luck in finding good documentation on this. The VPN server is a Microsoft box, and I understand that they do things a little differently than the rest of the world with regards to VPN.
Thus far, my search indicates that the pptp client should be able to help, or FreeS/Wan. I tried to follow the instructions for the pptp client, but couldn't get the gui interface running. I dug a bit more with it and found pptpconfig and played with that. Then entered the command "pptp 111.111.111.111", and I seemed to get a connection, but a minute or two later the connection would end with an error "Terminating on signal 15", which I'm guessing is a timeout on authentication. I looked into FreeS/Wan, and it looks to be a bunch of command line configs - which is fine, if you understand all the options. Also, it seems to indicate I have to do something different with my firewall (which is IPCop) to NOT masquerade the internal IP address. Is this really necessary? Any tips or links to a decent HowTo would be muchly appreciated. Thanks.
