Pptp cable connection

[jonas]

Hi I'm trying to set up a pptp connection on wan to my ISP, however I don't have the IP address it's allocated by DHCP and there is no way to set it in pfSense.

I've searched the forums and found http://forum.pfsense.org/index.php?topic=4630.0 which implies that although the front end doesn't allow this it might be possible using shell.

I've managed to enter shell, but the only commands I know is ls and cd which as you can imagine didn't get me very far. I'm a quick learner and just need a couple of pointers.

1. where do I change mpd.config (how would be nice as well, something like notepad?)
2. what should it be

Thanks,
Jonas.

P.S. I've found mpd and the conf file in the etc directory, however I still have no idea how to edit it since ed nor red work, nor do I know what needs to be set…

Thanks.

Well I found vi, and after some to and fro got to editing and saving. So the only thing missing is what should actually be changed in mpd…
