[SLUG] vpn install problem
Hi. I hope there are people on this list with routing expertise. My routing knowledge is limited. Here's the problem. I have set up a ubuntu box that acts as a VPN server. It has pptpd running. The VPN server has one ethernet i/f, eth0, its running ubuntu 9.04 server. The VPN is running on an 192.168.0.0 network and gives out ip addresses in the range of 192.168.101.200-245 I have the ADSL router on the 192.168.0.0 network portforwarding port 1723 to the VPN box, which has ip of 192.168.0.14 It also has a static route that routes any traffic with destination of 192.168.101.0 network to the VPN server I can connect to the box from externally on the internet with an XP client. The XP client is successfully given an IP address of 192.168.101.200. The XP client has its gateway set to that of the remote network, so the VPN servers network gateway, which is, not surprisingly, 192.168.0.1 It can successfully ping the vpn box (192.168.0.14) but cannot get out on the internet throught the VPN. When the connection is initiated a route is added to the VPN box for the 192.168.101.200 address, so that everything for that address goes out on ppp0. Similarly when the ppp0 interface is brought down the route is removed. This is one way I have tried to solve the VPN problem. However, I could also remove the static route from the ADSL router, give the machines that need to be accessed additional ip addresses in the 192.168.101.0 range and setup routes on the VPN server to cope with that, however I have not been able to get that working either... Can anyone help me with this... That would be cool. Thanks in advance.

[SLUG] RE WIRELESS BROADBAND ON NETBOOKS
Hi All, We use Westnet Huawei e169 usb drives on 701 EEEPC's I guess any reseller that uses Optus as a carrier will be the same. We use Mint and it has worked on Puppy and Ubuntu The default E program wont find 3g networks for us. The trick is to get the settings right for APN and the dns servers for your ISP. There are no pass words. I have to say Westnet were very unhelpful, for the first time in five years. But Linux is a mystery to them it seems. Thank god for the internet community As most people use Microsoft these usb modems come with a small connection program and you need to use latter versions on Linux that bypass the set-up program. If you hunt around you can find work arounds if you do not want to up date you OS. Our systems operate in rural areas and an Optus or Telstra service was the only option for us. I suspect that all the other carriers and modems will be the same though.

H They certainly did, however most 3g carriers are just reselling optus. Regardless, huawei modems have excellent linux support. Network-manager will configure them happily, and the relevant ppp options are easily googled. Using them on linux is much less painful than on windows or mac...

Re: [SLUG] vpn install problem
Hi Luke, I've always found that using different network classes for VPN access seems to give me trouble free access. Sounds weird but you might have in your routing setup classless network aggregation or supernetting which could be mucking things up. Try using 172.16.1.0 network instead of one of the 192.168.x.x. Also try using 10.1.1.0 network for another. You can still make them use a class C address or 256 addresses on these. So in the end you would only have one range using 192.168.x.x and nothing else using any 192.168.x.x. Also while troubleshooting don't use 192.168.0.x. Even though this can be used nowadays, there still could be equipment that doesn't like it. Use 192.168.1.x instead. See how you go. Ben Luke Vanderfluit wrote: Hi.

[SLUG] SATA pci Card question
I recently purchased a SATA Terabyte HDD and am having problems with various PCs not being able to even boot the Bios past discovering this HDD. I'm assuming that the mobos are too old to have Bios's that can handle Terabyte HDDS. My newest PC has an Intel Atom mobo and I have had success with this PC. However, the mobo has only 2 SATA connectors, 1 being used for my DVDRW and the other for the boot HDD. I formatted the terabyte HDD by substituting it for the boot hdd and using a LiveCD. This PC has a PCI SATA card, but the terrabyte hdd wont work with it, though a 320 gb SATA hdd will. All of the mobos in question have the latest Bios ( at least 3 yrs old except for Atom mobo) Question:- what is the command to determine the type of card and its bios revision? When I have this info I can try to find a bios update. Final solution is to get a more up-to-date SATA card. Google hasnt helped.

Re: [SLUG] SATA pci Card question
Hi Bill, Sometimes there is a jumper to disable SATA2 and run the disk using SATA1. This may help for compatibility with your older controllers.
