hi
i had the same problem
the ppp-mppe module u r trying to install doesnot work
with this kernel(compiled with gcc 3.2 on rh 8.0)
instead search for this srpm
ppp-2.4.1-demand_script-0.4-3mppe.src.rpm
i have this srpm and i had infact mailed it on this
list but my mail got caught in red-tape
do
rpmbuild --rebuild
ppp-2.4.1-demand_script-0.4-3mppe.src.rpm
then install the rpm created in
/usr/src/redhat/RPMS/i386/
then install pptpd
then install pptp-linux
edit /etc/ppp/pap-secrets
add this line
<your username> * <your password> *
save the file
then edit /etc/sysconfig/network-scripts/ifcfg-eth0
and change the gateway field to 0.0.0.0
or if it doesnot exist
add the line
GATEWAY='0.0.0.0'
save it
restart network
then save this command as a script in ur /bin
directory
/sbin/modprobe -v ppp
pptp 172.16.9.1 debug noauth user <username> +pap
noauth mppe-40 mppe-128 mppe-stateless defaultroute
give ifconfig
u should see ip addresses for pp0,eth0 and lo
if so u r done
enjoy the net
