Re: need help on pptp config

[Li Wei <rootof3@yahoo.com>]

Thanks for your reply!

I'm user of VPN. The provider chooses PPTP.
In Windows XP, it works and the default gateway is 192.168.115.34
how to config it in Linux? Thanks!
how to add a route to the remote IP 192.168.115.1 on interface ppp0? Thanks!

In Linux I use VPN with pptp-linux
