There is a know issue with VPN PPTP service in version 6.0 update 1. When this problem occurs VPN PPTP users will be able to establish a VPN connection but will not be able to access any internal network resources.

The workaround for this problem is the following procedure to be executed in the CLI as root:

- ps ax | grep pptp

- /etc/init.d/pptpd stop [stop the service]

- Identify the process Id number of pptpd that is still running and force it to stop with the command:

- kill -9 <pid number>

- /etc/init.d/pptpd start [start the service]

For example:


ipbrick:~# ps ax | grep pptp

 4177 pts/4    S+     0:00 grep pptp
 15088 ?        S      0:11 pptpd [88.152.241.124:FFE9 - 0F00]                                                                                                            
 15089 pts/0    Ss+    0:00 /usr/sbin/pppd local file /etc/ppp/pptpd-options 115200 192.168.0.151:192.168.0.152 ipparam 88.152.241.124 remotenumber 88.152.241.124
 20619 ?        Ss     0:00 /usr/sbin/pptpd

ipbrick:~#
