finally got the service to start properly but windows pptp client still failed to connect...
It looks like the pppd can't locate the chap-secrets file from /opt/etc/ppp
Any idea? Any one managed to get this version working?

you have to create this file yourself.
this is the basic layout of the file:
http://poptop.sourceforge.net/dox/chap-secrets.txt
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.Quote:

but I haven't found out yet what exactly the problem is as well
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?
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???
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...
GREAT:DQuote:

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?
Ah... found out that the /tmp/ppp/ip-up is called automatically by pppd.
I removed this symbolic linked script and now everything seems to work as expected...
It's lucky that I don't need pppoe otherwise this won't work...
I found the following configuration can be added to the options.pptpd to override the default ip-up/ip-down script path, so that it won't interfere with the same default script under /tmp/ppp for pppoe.
ip-up-script /opt/etc/ppp/ip-up
ip-down-script /opt/etc/ppp/ip-down
Somebody can try to compile PopTop 1.3.4 for kernel 2.6 (RT-N thread) ?
PopTop 1.2.1 don't work on RT-N16(RT-N16-1.9.2.7-rtn-r1543)
yeh, I probably will be able to compile it today:)Quote:

Thanks! I try.Quote:

So, maybe it should be moved into wl500g.googlecode.com/svn/ipkg repo?Quote:

Thank you
For the RT-N firmware you could try rp-l2tp, its build in these days:)Quote:
