Hi Guys,
Anyone having issues with PPTP Tunnels? It appears for no apparent reason mine have become intermittent and am wondering if it is the result of the installation of Vmware Fusion 2.0.2.

What I dont understand is why my logs state that the local IP address is 172.19.21.100 which it is not, my routing is screwed :S any suggestions?

After uninstalling Vmware Fusion my PPTP connections are now working :S?
 
Hm.. have you specified your mtu on your host?
Your mtu is changing for some reason all the time...
Can you install Fusion again and see if it still happens? I've never seen that happen in Fusion.

Giaguara, reinstalled and am still having issues with PPTP connections. Are you able to suggest any trouble shooting for MTU sizes? From looking at my Network Card config I can see it is auto negotiating the size/specifications for my nic.
 
Hi apples,

Can you try to configure VMware network services to use another IP range? This should enable to avoid this conflict. (i.e. switch to another addressing mode - NAT, bridged, host only..). Let me know if that makes any difference I might want to have a look at some of the Fusion logs as well (even if this happens without Fusion running).
 
Ok, so the war continues with VMWARE Fusion...

This is what happens when I tracert though the tunnel :)
traceroute to 10.61.100.5 (10.61.100.5), 64 hops max, 40 byte packets
traceroute: sendto: No buffer space available
1 traceroute: wrote 10.61.100.5 40 chars, ret=-1
*traceroute: sendto: No buffer space available
traceroute: wrote 10.61.100.5 40 chars, ret=-1
*traceroute: sendto: No buffer space available
traceroute: wrote 10.61.100.5 40 chars, ret=-1

I am not pretending to know how to fix this however is it because I have run out of socket space? Or is it because the MTU size is screwed?
Does anyone have an good books i could read on TCP/IP to help me sort this issue out? I have removed the virtual nics from my Virtual Machine so the VM is disconnected from my interfaces, my problem is becoming more an intermittent issue where is works sometimes but not all the time.

Help is greatly appreciated guys, I have posted on VMware however have received no replies. It does appear that other people are experiencing the same sorts of issues as me.
