HOWTO: PPtP VPN
This howto will list the steps necessary to set up a pptp server on a ReadyNAS Duo. PPtP makes a nice choice, because OSX natively supports connecting to PPtP VPNs. I think windows does also, but don'...
Before commenting on the ppp module compilation above, please indicate which firmware revision and processor (Sparc or x86) you are using.
I can't figure out how to compile the ppp module. I realize that we have to download the kernel from Netgear's GPL page, but it has to be the one specific to our model and firmware revision. This is a lot of trouble. And it appears that the x86 version 4.2.9 (latest stable) is corrupted. (unable to extract fully on my ReadyNAS or Windows machines) Are there any other solutions?

May 4 23:22:50 BigBoy pppd[3357]: This system lacks kernel support for PPP. This could be because the PPP kernel module could not be loaded, or because PPP was not included in the kernel configuration. If PPP was included as a module, try `/sbin/modprobe -v ppp'. If that fails, check that ppp.o exists in /lib/modules/`uname -r`/net. See README.linux file in the ppp distribution for more details.
