>So do we have any other way to check for bytes received >and tranmitted say in a month? or extrapolation? Why don't you use the MRTG scripts for ethernet monitoring. It gives you a good idea of the current traffic and also weekly, monthly etc. I right now don't have the urls, but mrtg search in google will lead you to the right location.

by Mahesh Gharat 26 Sep '01

26 Sep '01

Hello everybody, I'm trying to install and configure the VPN network on my LAN. My VPN server is on Linux machine(kernel 2.4.2). I am using pptpd (http://poptop.lineo.com/) for this. I want to configure the n/w as Linux/Win<-->Linux VPN<->Internet<->Linux VPN<--Linux/Win Client Server Server Client but just for the begining I installed only one server(kernel 2.4.2 with pptpd) and on Win98 client trying to connect it. Linux VPN Server<----->Win98 client 192.168.0.32 192.168.0.0.112 But I'm not able connect.Both the machines are on the same LAN(using simple hubs not switches).The error I'm getting as below. /usr/sbin/pppd: The remote system is required to authenticate itself /usr/sbin/pppd: but I couldn't find any suitable secret (password) for it to use to do so. /usr/sbin/pppd: (None of the available passwords would let it use an IP address.) Please help me.I'm stuck on this for a whole week. Thanks in advance. Mahesh Gharat mahesh_gharat(a)rediffmail.com MSN id : mahesh_gharat(a)hotmail.com

Setup PAP / CHAP secrets or try noauth switch to pppd. Or put following lines in /etc/ppp/peers/vpn --- noauth name vpn --- and call pppd with argument 'call vpn' read man pppd for details.
