Hi there

I am using pptpclient 1.3.1 on FreeBSD 5.2 to establish a PPTP
connection. The output of ifconfig tells me that i have been
successfull in doing that:

tun0: flags=8051<UP,POINTOPOINT,RUNNING,MULTICAST> mtu 1498
        inet 192.168.2.3 --> 192.168.2.1 netmask 0xffffffff
        Opened by PID 1158

The following entry has been added automatically to the routing table:
192.168.2.1 192.168.2.3 UH 0 21 tun0

Because I could not ping neither 192.168.2.3 nor 192.168.2.1 I added
one more route to the routing table:
192.168.2 tun0 US 0 34 tun0

Now I can ping 192.168.2.3 but 192.168.2.1 still does not give any
reply. What else I need to do in order to reach 192.168.2.1?

I have searched Google to find an answere but with no success. I hope
that anyone can give me a hint.

Thanks, Daniel
