pptp configuration(Suse client to XP server)
 

Hello,
I face this problem for a while and I read a lot about the topic without much luck. I hope that someone will be able to help me with it. I'm trying to connect to a Windows machine which has the pptpd server installed from my OpenSuse 11 box at home. I crated a connection and I think that I'm connected to the work network but I cannot ping or connect to the computer I want once in there.

I installed pptp and connected to the internet I'm using KInternet tool to connect.
Here is the log of the connection:
SuSE Meta pppd (smpppd-ifcfg), Version 1.59_SVN16 on bonaire.
Status is: disconnected
trying to connect to smpppd
connect to smpppd
Status is: disconnected

pppd[0]: secondary DNS address 198.133.37.11
pppd[0]: Script /etc/ppp/ip-up finished (pid 3791), status = 0x0
Status is: connected

I'm not able to use Remote Desktop or any other tool to connect, I cannot ping the ip address I want.

here is an extract of the /var/log/messages which leads me to think that I'm tunneling to the network desired but I cannot do anything else. On XP i don't encounter any issues(well it's a windows protocol) but I'm sure it can be done in Linux. I just need someone with more experience in this.
Anyway here is an extract of the log:

The file /etc/resolv.conf gets modified by the pppd during the connection(with some ip addresses assigned I think by the server i'm trying to connect to ) but it gets restored as soon as i hang the connection.
what am I doing wrong?
