    this is the basic layout of the file:

    Yes, and I did have the file there and I suppose it is correctly modified. But I think the pppd is expecting it from somewhere else.

    I'm not sure about poptop
    I tried compiling it myself (to see if it makes a difference)
    but I haven't found out yet what exactly the problem is as well

    Question

    My wl500w just died recently. I managed to fix it by replacing bad caps and broken power supply. Now I have finally updated to the 1.9.2.7-d-r1000 and still can't get this poptop server working. How do you compile it? Any clue?

    Smile iptables/firewall expert needed

    I had some progress in the PPTP server setup. I was right about the chap-secret file. It was expected to locate in the /temp/ppp directory instead of /opt/etc/ppp. I added a copy command in the post-boot script to duplicate the file over to /temp/ppp. Now my windows machines can connect to the router with pptp vpn connection.

    Here is my remaining problem:
    I am not able to connect to ping any IPs in the LAN subnet. When connecting to the router through LAN ip, the router treated my windows machine as connected from the Wan IP. P.S. VPN connection got LAN IP and LAN Gateway IP correctly. How do I fix this???

    Talking

    Finally, I got the VPN Server configuration right... everything is working at least as good as DDWRT. If anyone is interested, I will share my steps to get it working. Cheer...

    so what was the problem exactly?

    Unhappy

    The previous problem was due to incorrectly added iptable rules

    But now I Just found out that my configuration wasn't working perfectly. After a vpn connection, my wan interface on the router is screwed. DNS no longer works. I have to reboot the router to get it back to normal through ssh remotely. Further investigation found that a default route to the ppp0 interface was added somehow when the vpn connection was made. The resolv.conf was also cleared. It is probably done by the default pppd configuration used for wan pppoe connection. Anyone has clue how to correct this problem?
