3
4 Trying to get my vpn to work going from my linux laptop. That would
5 really make the boss jealous! Anyhow, when i run my ifconfing ppp0,
6 after doing /etc/init.d/net.ppp0 start, it looks like this:
7
8 ppp0 Link encap:Point-to-Point Protocol
9 POINTOPOINT NOARP MULTICAST MTU:1400 Metric:1
10 RX packets:0 errors:0 dropped:0 overruns:0 frame:0
11 TX packets:0 errors:0 dropped:0 overruns:0 carrier:0
12 collisions:0 txqueuelen:3
13 RX bytes:0 (0.0 b) TX bytes:0 (0.0 b)
14
15 I see no inet entries like i think i should, and if i do:
16
17 route add -net 192.168.0.0 netmask 255.255.255.0 dev ppp0
18
19 is says the interface doesn't exist!! What am I doing wrong here? I'd be
20 glad to talk to someone on IRC (I'm karleeto 24/7) and in a return
21 email. Thanks in advance for the help!
