Hi all,

I am trying to get the PPTP client working using HotspotVPN's service. I followed fanoush's instructions on flashing the kernel and loading the required modules in sequence.
Code:
Nokia-N800-50-2:/etc/ppp/peers# lsmod        
Module                  Size  Used by
ppp_mppe 6660 0 - Live 0xbf06b000
ecb 2784 0 - Live 0xbf069000
pcbc 3776 0 - Live 0xbf067000
cbc 3744 0 - Live 0xbf065000
blkcipher 4772 3 ecb,pcbc,cbc, Live 0xbf062000
cryptomgr 2368 0 - Live 0xbf060000
sha1 2400 0 - Live 0xbf05e000
arc4 1760 0 - Live 0xbf05c000
crypto_algapi 10176 6 ecb,pcbc,cbc,cryptomgr,sha1,arc4, Live 0xbf058000
g_file_storage 27560 0 - Live 0xbf050000
cx3110x 56200 0 - Live 0xbf041000
umac 258788 1 cx3110x, Live 0xbf000000 (P)
Now when I start pppd with 'pppd call HotspotVPN' (HotspotVPN being the remotename configured in /etc/ppp/peers/HotspotVPN) I get the following:

Code:
pppd options in effect:

noipx           # (from /etc/ppp/options)
and this:

Code:
Nokia-N800-50-2:/etc/ppp/peers# ps -ef | grep pp
  959 user      18960 SW< /usr/bin/maemo-launcher --daemon --send-app-died --bo
 1564 root       2296 RW  pppd call HotspotVPN 
 1565 root       1884 SW  sh -c pptp es.hotspotvpn.com --nolaunchpppd --logleve
 1566 root       1772 SW  pptp es.hotspotvpn.com --nolaunchpppd --loglevel 2 
 1569 root       1772 SW  pptp: call manager for 67.159.37.134  --loglevel 2
It seems that it is trying to connect. I also noticed that a ppp0 interface is not created like it is on my Ubuntu. I am not sure what program/scripts creates this interface - excuse my knowledge.

After a lot of fighting I was able to get it working on my Ubuntu using the NetworkManager. I feel l am very close to get it to work on my N800. Has anybody gotten HotspotVPN to work on the N800/N810?

Any help would be appreciated.

Thanks.
