I have this installed on RHL 8.0 and I have setup the iptables according to the documentation. Port 1723 is open as well as the GRE protocol. I still get a computer not responding error when attempting to connect from a windows machine. I read on one documentation that I need to install and configure NAT. There was a link to some information but the link hasn't been updated since 1999 and was for the 2.2.x kernel version. Can anyone point me to some updated info? Do I need to install NAT?
If you would like to refer to this comment somewhere else in this project, copy and paste the following link:
When I tried to execute the command "rpm -ivh kernel-mppe-2.4.18-14.i386.rpm", I receieved the following error:
error: kernel-mppe-2.4.18-14.i386.rpm: MD5 digest: BAD Expected(738df36fcc356a652a53279f7ac885fd) != (8befdd39b4f5981ea03771b99507e565)
error: kernel-mppe-2.4.18-14.i386.rpm cannot be installed
I am using RedHat 8.0 with the original 2.4.18-14 kernel that came with it. I checked the file size for kernel-mppe-2.4.18-14.i386.rpm and it is only 4902 bytes. It doesn't seem right to me. Will the files I downloaded under the "RedHat 7.x RPMS" section work with RedHat 8.0?
Also, do you have a sample of the "/etc/pptpd.conf" and /etc/ppp/options.pptpd" files?
Thanks,
Greg

Deleted it. Didn't find the original. You could use kernelmod from Add-Ons. It will work for RH8.0, but requires a build environment. Or upgrade your kernel to one which is in the 7.x section, or get a custom (fullblown) kernel from custom RH 7.3 kernel section. Up to you.

I figured it out, please ignore this.
Does this mean that the RPM I sent you worked? Please advise!

Hi Lavie,

ppp-mppe-2.4.1-7.i386.rpm
pptpd-1.1.3-3.i386.rpm
