I have been using other distributions and they all come with pptp client on /usr/sbin/pptp
Is there a way to install Fedora with a built in pptp? Because i have installed without pptp and i can't install anything without acess to the internet, my connection to the provider is a pptp vpn with authentication...
Please help me install pptp... I cannot install anything new in Fedora because it starts to look over the internet and i have no connection yet.

Can't you download an RPM onto a USB key from the computer you're posting from?

http://pptpclient.sourceforge.net/yu...ent.noarch.rpm

How do i install this? rpm -i ?
But its a shame that older distributions have already the pptp and fedora that was released yesterday doesn't have...

rpm -ivh pptp-release-current.noarch.rpm.

I haven't downloaded F7 yet so can't comment. I've left it downloading at work so should have it Monday

look, i used this method on opensuse to create a connection script, but till now i can't find the "pptp" command in fedora. i have installed the package pptp-release... but the only file i found is a pptpd in /usr/local/sbin that not works.
these are the instructions i have:

1. Check that you have pptp client ( usually at /usr/sbin/pptp ).
locate pptp
If the path is different, please update it in cablestart file, instead of /usr/sbin/pptp .
2. Update your pap-secrets file with your favorite editor:
vi /etc/ppp/pap-secrets
"username " "ISP IP or host server here" "password"
3. Update your resolv.conf file with your favorite editor:
vi /etc/ppp/resolv.conf
nameserver 217.22.112.7 --> ISP DNS
nameserver 217.22.113.251 -> ISP DNS

4. create cablestart and cablestop scripts, and save them in /usr/sbin/ directory.

cablestart:

#!/bin/bash

USERNAME=username
IF=eth0
/sbin/ifdown $IF
/sbin/ifup $IF
CABLEGW=`/sbin/route -n | grep ^0.0.0.0 | awk '{print $2}'`
/sbin/route add -host 172.26.255.242 gw $CABLEGW
/sbin/route del default
/usr/sbin/pptp 172.26.255.242 debug user $USERNAME mtu 1460 mru 1460 defaultroute usepeerdns noauth
sleep 10
echo "nameserver 217.22.112.7" > /etc/resolv.conf
echo "nameserver 217.22.113.251" >> /etc/resolv.conf

cablestop:

#!/bin/bash

killall pptp;
/etc/init.d/network restart;

5. Make sure both files are executable:
chmod a+x /usr/sbin/cablestart
chmod a+x /usr/sbin/cablestop

6. To Connect, type:
cablestart

7. To Disconnect, type:
cablestop

does anyone know how to help??

I've just installed F7 and it has an OpenVPN (PPTP) client built in. I've just looked it up and it's called NetworkManager-openvpn. Presumably you will need NetworkManager too. Have a look for it on the DVD or download it from another machine if you can.

I'm not sure which packages you will need so I've linked all the obvious ones.
