Hi guys,
i've tried to use pptpd to tunnel an ipx connection through my debian
server. No luck yet.
Things i've done so far:
- installed ipx and ipxripd
- loaded ipx kernel module (modprobe ipx) - no problems
Module Size Used by
ipx 28196 0
- configured an ipx interface
ipx_configure --auto_primary on
ipx_configure --auto_interface on
ipx_internal_net add 1 2
ipx_interface add eth0 802.2 3
- ifconfig:
eth0 Link encap:Ethernet ...
IPX/Ethernet 802.2 addr:00000003:004063CA2292
....
IPX seems running?! Trying to connect to the pptpd gives:
Unsupported protocol 'Novell IPX Control Protocol' (0x802b) received
First idea - the pppd is the problem. So i wrote following lines in my
/etc/ppp/options:
ipx
ipx-network 123abcd
ipx-node 1:0
ipx-routing 2
ipx-router-name Linux_router
ipxcp-accept-remote
Trying to run pppd solely raised following error:
IPX support is not present in the kernel
Ok, i recompiled the kernel with IPX and Full internal IPX network.
Unfortunately pppd gives the same error.
I looked up the error message in the pppd sources. pppd is looking for
the ipx interfaces at /proc/net/ipx_interfaces. In my debian
(unstable, kernel 2.6.2) the ipx interfaces are located at
/proc/net/ipx/interfaces. So is it a bug in pppd, in debian or no bug
at all.
Please help me.
