VPN Connection works but DNS resolution on client fails
Authored by: five4fighting on Dec 04, '02 02:57:57PM

I was able to establish a VPN connection by following the steps outlined in the post. However, once connected, the client machine can connect to other machines via their IP addresses but is unable to resolve DNS addresses. For instance, I am able to get mail over the private LAN by using the IP address to connect to the mail server (192.168.168.x) but not by the machine's address (mail.mailserver.com).

Does anyone else have this problem and can you send any suggestions for changes to pptp_service or other files to fix it?

Thanks!

Add a line like this:

ms-dns 192.168.x.x

to /etc/ppp/pptp_service
