Hi all — I read Joel Rennich’s article on “Setting up the PPTP Server on Mac OS X Server 10.2” and I was able to follow most of the steps, but a couple of them just went past me. I’m hoping someone here can clarify.
I have a static IP address, and I think what I’m trying to do is set up the VPN so that an outside client connects to the static IP address through Internet Connect, and some sort of port forwarding sends the client to the local IP address of the computer on which we want to host the VPN. I edited hostconfig as Joel mentioned, and I think I edited pptp_address correctly, adding valid empty IP numbers for our network. If computers on our LAN are connected at 192.168.0.101 and 192.168.0.103, would 192.168.0.102 be a valid empty address?
I commented out the first line of pptp_service, but I wasn’t sure what our DNS servers were to add to this file. Is that the static IP, a local IP, or something else entirely? Also, to finish the file with the server’s IP address followed by a colon, would this be the static or a local IP?
Also, through what port should I forward on the router from the static IP to the local IP for access to that local IP’s VPN?
That should get me started. I very much appreciate the help. Thanks!
