PPP Routing problem

RouterOS General
1

Hello,

I’m having a routing problem with a PPTP client network, my current setup is as follows.

On the head office router i have the user setup in PPP Secrets.
Local Address:172.16.70.254
Remote Address: 172.16.70.1
Routes: 172.16.71.0/24 172.16.70.1

Remote End,
DHCP LAN: 172.16.71.0/24
PPTP Client: 172.16.70.1
Default Route: 172.16.70.254

From the remote end i can ping the head office router (172.16.70.254) and from the head office i can ping the remote (172.16.70.1)

Problem is, when doing a traceroute to 172.16.71.1 (remote lan) it goes out the default gateway of the head office router, not the ppp interface, ignoring the route.

The dynamic route specified in the “PPP Secret” is appearing, but with an “unknown” interface.

Any ideas?

Thanks.

Put a cost of 1 after that route:

Routes: 172.16.71.0/24 172.16.70.1 1

When the route is dynamically added by the PPP Secret, it adds the cost of 1 already. Still doesn’t work.

i’m sure its a route issue. Check your IPs. Make sure you also have a route to the subnet that you are adding in the secrets.

i.e.

if your local machine has this in the scecrets
local- 10.0.0.1
remote- 10.0.0.2

Then put a route of 10.0.0.0/28 or 24 up to you, to point to .1 on your local router
Then put a route of 10.0.0.0/28 or whatever and point it to .2 on your remote router

This may be what is wrong though,
you have the route to 192.168.2.0/24 in the secret, so the main router has that route, but the r emote don’t know 192.168.1.0/24 needs to goto 10.0.0.2.. Thats what you need ot put in I bet.
