Hello > Well I'm trying to scetch how I think it is configured. > You have a ethernet connection to your modem: eth0 Right > You have a ppp connection to internet (ppp0) that is connected through eth0 Right > You have an ethernet connection to your intranet.

I actually > think that pptp can require that. Sorry, I think i said it wrong. Of course, packages over open ip-connections and requested packages are allowed to come in. Otherwise i could not use the internet. I don't allow packages, that request connections or echos etc. > I'm not sure if I can give you more help than this.
