Connect to my ISP using PPTP (NL:MxStream)

Our Dutch ISP that is using the KPN MxStream network wants to authenticate to them using a PPTP tunnel. That is posing

I was wondering if that is even remotely possible using the ASL box. What I need in a normal linux box is the package pptp-linux to setup the tunnel.

HI Jochem,

right now using PPTP in Client mode is not possible.
We will add this feature in the future.

Kind regards
Gert

Hi Jochem,

I know all about the weirdness of MxStream. Why don't you try using a router to establish a connection (there are multiple products that can) and then connect your ASL box to the router. Make sure the router is configured as transparent as possible for your goals (perhaps some sort of bridging, but I have no knowledge on that subject) and then configure your ASL-box as wished.

Hi Jochem,
you can try with an IS like D-Link DP602.

Hello All,

Info:
=====
I'm not very familiar with the Astaro Product yet.

But isn't it possible to just add the "pptp" client to the chrooted pptp tree?

Example:
========
- Download PPTP client from
  * http://pptpclient.sourceforge.net/
  or some mxtream stuff from
  * http://www.sphaero.org/adsl/
- Compile and link it static on a remote system
- modprobe ppp_generic
  modprobe ppp_mppe
  modprobe ppp_async
  modprobe ppp_synctty
  modprobe ppp_deflate
-
ln -s old_libncurses.so.5  libncurses.so.5
- chroot /var/chroot-pptp /bin/bash
- fw:/ # /usr/sbin/pptp  file /etc/ppp/options.adsl
Using interface ppp0
Connect: ppp0  /dev/ttyp0
LCP terminated by peer (peer refused to authenticate)
Connection terminated.

Wouldn't that work?

I'm here behind a Wcom leasedline, and not able to test XS4all ADSL. (Maybe soon at some other place).


Kind Regards,

Roderick
