PPTP / L2TP connection to the ISP

[Kfear]

ISPs at Israel and some other countries over the world uses an odd network configuration ..

In order to connect to my ISP I need to establish a PPTP / L2TP connection

it would be VERY NICE to use zeroshell with this configuration
for example ..

eth0 – as the LAN interface (Static IP / DHCP)

eth1 – as the “Local WAN Interface” (DHCP)

at this point this interface is not connected to the ISP , only to an infrastructure provider which will supply a private IP using a DHCP.

for example:
IP: 172.24.181.20
Netmask: 255.255.224.0
Gateway 172.24.160.1
DNS: 192.168.101.101 (this is needed in order to resolve the PPTP / L2TP server IP , as it’s IP changes from time to time in order the ISP to achieve some Load balancing between it’s servers)

now , in order to connect to the internet zeroshell will establish a

PPTP/L2TP – as the WAN interface (connected to the internet / ISP)
with thees connection parameter for example

Host name (PPTP Server) : cable.netvision.net.il
No Data encryption
authentication type : PAP / SPAP
the connection will be configured with DHCP
as the ISP will supply
IP (Public IP)
Netmask
Default Gateway
DNS 1
DNS 2

Linksys “home” router can do so
3com “home” router can do so
dLink “home” router can do so
TP-Link “home” router can do so
Edimax “home” router can do so
LevelOne “home” router can do so
and on and on …

so please , please , please make zeroshell do so as well

thanks in advanced .
