Still no joy... Following the instructions in Nicks email, and extra info off the IPCop wiki I have done the following:
1. Reset the external address of the red interface to 10.0.0.137 (thanks David!) 2. Speedtouch pro is at 10.0.0.138, subnet mask 255.255.255.252. With ppp set up on the router, and a static IP address set up on the red interface, all works fine. In an attempt to control the router via pptp, I have performed 3 separate tasks: 1. Configured the red interface as PPTP using setup on the IPCop box. 2. Configured the router. a. Delete the current clear_net ppp entry from the phonebook. b. Added a new phonebook entry, NZDSL, VPI 0, VCI 100, type pptp c. Added a new pptp entry, NZDSL, Encap VC-MUX, framing never. d. Saved all 3. Configured the red interface via a browser pointing to port 445 on the IPCop firewall. Interface: pptp Connect on IPCop restart: yes Reconnection: Persistent Holdoff time: 30 sec Max retries: 5 Static IP: yes Phonebook entry: NZDSL Router IP address: <static address of external I/F on router> Username: set Password: set Authentication Method: PAP or CHAP Manual DNS: yes Primary and secondary DNS addresses: set Once set up like this, I can ping the router from the firewall, but not through it. I have no connectivity, and even rebooting the firewall does not bring the router up. One thing I didn't do was to remove the CIP interface on VPI 0, VCI 101. I've written these notes without checking the instructions, in the hope that I've described what I did, rather than what I *think* I did. Can anyone see where I've gone wrong?
