-----BEGIN PGP SIGNED MESSAGE----- Hash: SHA1 When connected what does your addresses and routing table look like? ip addr ip route
Is the IP address on the ppp0 interface in the same subnet as your work machines? Also, Windows 2000 and later has built in support for ipsec, so your work may not be using pptp. If it merely is a routing issue, then ip route add 192.168.A.B/24 via 192.168.C.D dev ppp0 The first IP is CIDR notation, the /24 is equivalent to a netmask of 255.255.255.0. The second is the gateway IP. Without knowing more it is tough to say what is going wrong. Are there any logs in /var/log/ppp*? The instruction sheet may be useful, what VPN client are they using? What are some of the jargon/terms used in the handout? Jesse Kline wrote: > I've been trying to vpn into to my office network without any luck.
