HELP! Linux VPN has Died!!!

Recommended Posts

Hello all.

i have two pc's setup for a VPN connection. i.e 2 sites both using local adsl connections.

PC A = 10.0.0.1/24 eth0

172.16.0.1 tun0

 

PC B = 10.0.1.1/24 eth0

172.16.0.2 tun0

 

 

now , after executing "shutdown -h now" on the PC A.

the VPN is down

and i dont know how to set it back up ?

 

please help

has the -h command killed something ?

all the routes seem to be in place in the pc's but no ping no connectivity at all...

i am in a huge bind with this.

any help or guide would be immensily appreciated

Carl

Hi Carl,

 

Your shutdown -h command simply means "halt" and "now" means now. This was just an orderly power off of a system

 

It would seem that you did not setup VPN or you would not be in this pickle. I'll try to help (I run it to alot of locations) but you really need to provide a lot more info.

 

What version(s) of the Linux kernel are you running?

 

Can your boxes "see" each other by "ping"? This may not work if your firewall drops ICMP packets, but it is worth checking.

 

Do you know how to use the firewall configuration tools? You will want to be able to provide more info using them later.

 

Are you running DNS servers on your endpoints (one or the other or both)?

 

If you will post this info, I will try to help you.

 

Bill
