    I got the following error messages when try to start pptpd

    Aug 25 13:53:13 pppd[303]: pppd 2.4.2 started by admin, uid 0
    Aug 25 13:53:13 pppd[303]: Using interface ppp0

    Question

    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.

    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...
