25: <dt><b><b>It does not works and I don't understand why.</b></b><dd><p>Mpd has extensive logging system supporting syslog. To direct logs
26: into a file add lines
27: <pre>
28: !mpd
29: *.* /var/log/mpd.log
30: </pre>
31:
32: into your /etc/syslog.conf file, create /var/log/mpd.log file and send
33: SIGHUP to syslogd to reread config.</p>
34: <p>To enable all possible logging you can use 'log +all' command.</p>
35:
36: <dt><b><b>Packets won't flow.</b></b><dd><p>Make sure you have set <code><b>gateway_enable="YES"</b></code>
37: in <code>/etc/rc.conf</code>, otherwise your FreeBSD box will not
38: route packets.
39: Alternately, invoke <code>sysctl -w net.inet.ip.forwarding=1</code>
40: for immediate effect.</p>
41: <p>Also, check your firewall settings. Mpd will create new interfaces
42: which may need to be incorporated into your firewall rules.
43: If you're doing PPTP, you need to allow TCP port 1723 and IP protocol
44: 47 (GRE).</p>
45:
46: <dt><b><b>It doesn't work, and there are strange netgraph-related errors in the log.</b></b><dd><p>Make sure you have all the required netgraph KLD's loaded.
47: You can check them by doing <code> kldstat -v | grep ng_ </code>.</p>
48: <p>Usually these are loaded on demand. If not, you can load them
49: manually using <code>kldload(8)</code>.</p>
50: <p>The following node types are or may be needed:</p>
51: <p>
52: <ul>
53: <li><code>ng_async</code></li>
54: <li><code>ng_bpf</code></li>
55: <li><code>ng_car</code></li>

76: <dt><b><b>My configuration doesn't seem to be working as expected.</b></b><dd><p>Make sure your <code>mpd.conf</code> file formatted properly.
77: Labels must be left-justified, while other lines must not.</p>
78:
79: <dt><b><b>I'm getting no valid response from the RADIUS server.</b></b><dd><p>Double-check the shared secret in the RADIUS servers config and the
80: one specified in <code>mpd.conf</code> or <code>radius.conf</code>.
81: Check the ports of the RADIUS server: they should be 1812 (authentication)
82: and 1813 (accounting), wich are also the default ports of mpd. In
83: the past unofficial port numbers (1645 and 1646) were used for RADIUS,
84: but these are deprecated.</p>
85:
86: <dt><b><b>I'm getting ``Operation not permitted'' errors trying to run mpd.</b></b><dd><p>This is often caused by a combination of (a) using netgraph in KLD module
87: form instead of statically compiling the various modules into the kernel
88: via kernel <code>config(8)</code> options, and (b) increasing your
89: kernel security level (see the <code>init(8)</code> man page), which prevents
90: KLD modules from being loaded. Change one of these things to fix the problem.</p>
91:
92: <dt><b><b>I've configured a link for dial-in, and sometimes after disconnecting
93: mpd gets into some kind of infinite loop.</b></b><dd><p>This is because mpd is trying to ``redial,'' which of course is not
94: appropriate for dial-in links. Use <code>set link max-redial -1</code> and
95: <code>set bundle yes noretry</code> to disable the redial function.</p>
96:
97: <dt><b><b>I'm using mpd as PPTP server for Windows XP clients, when accessing bigger
98: websites, or listing larger ftp directories, then the connection
99: seems to hang.</b></b><dd><p>Windows XP insists on a very low MTU (usualy 1396 Bytes), this needs
100: fragmentation, if bigger packets should be transmited over the link.
101: Fragmentation is negotiated at ICMP level, if there is a bad router
102: somewhere in the network, who drops such packets, then the connection
103: seems to hang.
104: The first thing what you can try is reducing mpd's MTU value, by
105: setting: <code>set link mtu 1300</code> and <code>set bundle disable multilink</code>,
106: this should help in most cases.
107: For TCP connections it's possible enabling the TCP-MSS-Fix:
1.1.1.2 ! misho 108: <code>set iface enable tcpmssfix</code>.</p>
