I've been following this thread with some interest...trying to accomplish much the same as Eric, and have been reading up, down and sideways through leaf-user. I have a Dachstein (floppy) system. I'm trying to have a Win2k PPTP client (internal) connect to a PoPToP server (external). As with Eric, in my case the connection works fine if I pull the router entirely out of the mix. As a side note, the router does have a public external address.
I do have the pptp module loaded, but I wonder if I may be getting stuck on the port forwarding. In network.conf, I have the following: EXTERN_UDP_PORTS="0/0_domain 0/0_bootpc 130.111.135.159/32_47" and EXTERN_PROTO0="47 130.111.135.159/32" ...but when I try to "dial" the connection, the PPTP client quickly responds that the server is not answering. Nothing of note shows up in the messages file. Appreciate any nudges (or requests for more info), Andy -----BEGIN PGP SIGNED MESSAGE----- Hash: SHA1 Have you loaded the pptp Module? & Have you set up protocol 47 to also port forward to your VPN server? On your Win2k box, go to the properties of the VPN Connection and in the properties setup box on the networking tab, set the "Type of VPN server I am calling" to PPTP. If you don't do this it will try to use L2TP which requires a different port and secure protocols and sometimes a certificate server. I have several Dachstien firewalls in place and can VPN out through any one and back in through any other to a VPN Server in the internal network.

I am using a Win2k pro box at home, and haven't had any trouble, but you might want to search the archives...

I have set up my network.conf file according to the settings below (using the external IP address of my companies VPN server). But still, when I try to connect with VPN from my Win2K Client machine through the firewall, doesn't work (hangs at "Verifying User Name and Password) When I remove the Linux Router, it works. Any other ideas?

Ipmasq will not forward the necessary protocol. "snip" Here is what I have tried to enable pass through of my VPN connection. Added the following lines to the network.conf EXTERN_UDP_PORTS="0/0_domain 0/0_bootpc 0/0_500" EXTERN_TCP_PORT0="50 0/0" EXTERN_TCP_PORT1"51 0/0" made sure that the following line is in the loaded modules ip_masq_ipsec I am not sure on how to use the ipfwd utility.... Does it look like I am doing this right? I apoligize greatly for my lack of ability! Any help would be great.

Just do a search for 192.168.1. and you should find what you are looking for, change them all to 192.168.5. ..

I have been searching the FAQ's and archives for info to no avail. I have two big problems: 1. The Dachetein router is up and running great! Thank you for previous help. However, I cannot use Microsoft Dial-Up networking from a Windows box on my internal network to dial a VPN connection to a Windows NT server on the internet. (This works fine if I remove the router) Problem 2 - I cannot get SSH to Work!! I followed instructions that I found here: http://sourceforge.net/docman/display_doc.php?docid=1441&group_id=13751 I followed each step to the T. However, when I try to connect (Using PuTTY from a Windows 2000 box on the internal network) the terminal screen comes up for about 1 second and then disappears completely) A couple of things I have different: I use MSN for my Broadband connection. The Arescom DSL modem I have gives a 192.168.1.2 IP to the Linux Router. I reconfigured eth1 to hand out and use 192.168.5.xxx to my internal network. All other networking functionality seems to work (browsing the Internet, etc.) Thanks for your help and let me know if you need any more info!
