Topic: Bug in pptp package

Hi,

it seems that the address 192.168.0.1 for the ppp0 interface is "hardwired" somewhere in the package.
My router (D-Link DIR825) has standard addresses (192.168.1.1 for LAN and 172.16.1.1 for vpn), but when I do a ifconfig:

root@OpenWrt:~# ifconfig ppp0
ppp0      Link encap:Point-to-Point Protocol
          inet addr:192.168.0.1  P-t-P:172.16.1.2  Mask:255.255.255.255
          UP POINTOPOINT RUNNING NOARP MULTICAST  MTU:1400  Metric:1
          RX packets:48 errors:0 dropped:0 overruns:0 frame:0
          TX packets:8 errors:0 dropped:0 overruns:0 carrier:0
          collisions:0 txqueuelen:3
          RX bytes:3924 (3.8 KiB)  TX bytes:110 (110.0 B)

The "funny" thing is, pptp clients don't get internet access even if I change the LAN adress and the router actually has the LAN address 192.168.0.1.

Calin

Hello,
have you managed to solve this issue?
I have the same problem here

No, unfortunately not.
There is nothing I can do about it, only the package maintainer can solve the problem.
I stopped using OpenWrt on my productive routers so far and took dd-wrt again. I don't know why it works with dd-wrt and not with OpenWrt, but that's how it is. I don't like it either.

Maybe we should open a ticket if not done yet? Because i'm having the same issue now...

Did anybody open a ticket on this issue?

No, I didn't yet.
Did you try again with a newer OpenWrt version since 10.03? If not, maybe we really should open a ticket.

The discussion might have continued from here.
