I have configured a PPP connections between two mt, but the connections go up and down continiously
DSL on both sides is up.
On both sites there is a router that does the NAT to internet
Site1 MT version: 6.4 , Site2 MT version: 5.26
Site1 has static IP and runs the PPTP server
Site2 has dynamic IP and initiates the connection
The PPP connection disconnects at random times and after a few hours and hunderns attempts comes back. Then again…
Site2 MT: IP > Firewall shows hundrend of connection idling
The same time, site1 MT does not have an active PPP connection
The screenshot is taken from Site2 MT (client)
If deleting the user (PPP > Secrets) and create again the user, with exact same details, PPP connection comes back at once!!!
Otherwise, I have to wait hours so the PPP connection comes back online
These are the logs from site2 MT (the client)
While these logs are being generated, I am continiously connected to MT (through internet) from site1
Hence there is connectivity
#user
/ppp secret add name=xxxxxxx password=yyyyyyyy profile=ppp remote-address="the address you give to client"Client:
/ppp profile set 0 change-tcp-mss=yes use-compression=no use-encryption=required use-vj-compression=no
/interface pptp-client add allow=mschap2 connect-to=“publicip of server” disabled=no name=pptp-out1 password=yyyyyyy profile=default user=xxxxxxxxxxx
then I get:
/interface pptp-client> monitor pptp-out1
status: connected
uptime: 3m10s
encoding: MPPE128 stateless
PS, why you use different local address?
Is it possible to run l2tp? (better in a router to router setup) Only benefits I see to pptp is the possibility to connect directly via a windows computer, without any advanced config for ppp.
