Hi, I have been a satisfied user of LRP-based firewalls for several years
now.  However, I now have a problem.  I have an old 486 running Dachstein
v.1.0.2 (the "normal" floppy image with the 2.2.19-3 IPsec enabled Linux
kernel), acting as a firewall between DSL and my home network.  I have a
dual-boot laptop which I am trying to use to connect to my corporate
intranet using the Nortel Netlock Contivity Client.  When I boot the laptop
to Windows 2000 and use the Windows version of the client from behind the
firewall, everything works fine.  When I boot the laptop to Linux and use
the Linux version of the client with the laptop connected directly to the
DSL modem, everything works fine.  But when I boot the laptop to Linux and
use the Linux version of the client from behind the firewall, the client
claims to have successfully established a connection, but nothing gets
through the connection.  If I ping any address (including numerical
addresses within the intranet) it says "N packets transmitted, 0 packets
received, 100% packet loss".

I realize I probably need to provide a lot more specific information for
anyone to help me, but for now I just have a simple multiple-choice
question.  Could someone please tell me whether

a) I need to change the configuration of Dachstein on the 486 box
b) I need to change the configuration of my Linux laptop
c) I need to change both
d) This cannot be determined from the information I have given

Just in case it is useful, here is what the routing table on the Linux
laptop (named "guruseva") looks like when the Contivity client has
connected through the firewall (which is at 192.168.1.254 on the private
subnet for my home network):

Kernel IP routing table
Destination     Gateway         Genmask         Flags Metric Ref    Use Iface
192.91.171.51   192.168.1.254   255.255.255.255 UGH   0      0        0 eth0
172.21.1.48     guruseva        255.255.255.255 UGH   0      0        0 lo
204.68.140.61   172.21.1.48     255.255.255.255 UGH   0      0        0 nlv0
192.168.1.254   192.168.1.1     255.255.255.255 UGH   0      0        0 eth0
192.168.1.0     172.21.1.48     255.255.255.0   UG    0      0        0 nlv0
192.168.1.0     *               255.255.255.0   U     1      0        0 eth0
default         172.21.1.48     0.0.0.0         UG    0      0        0 nlv0
default         192.168.1.254   0.0.0.0         UG    1      0        0 eth0

Here nlv0 is the iface that the Netlock VPN client has set up and
192.91.171.51 is the VPN server I'm connecting to.  172.21.1.48 is the
address the VPN server assigned my client.  I have a vague idea from
searching for info that my problem is related to IPsec over UDP NAT
traversal, but I don't know what to do about it (and I find the fact that
the Windows client works fine particularly mind-boggling).

Thanks in advance for any help,

Ruchira Datta
