I still don't get it: Let's say I have the setup you described, with 192.168.1.0/24 being my VPN. You're sitting on the other side of the Internet, say 10 hops away. How can you send a packet to 192.168.1.1? Is there a standard tunneling method that is always activated? The 10 hops on the way would all drop a packet sent to 192.168.1.1. Wouldn't the cryptic commands you described only work on my next hop, i.e. the ISPs router? This would reduce the number of people who can get at my VPN quite significantly (ISP admins instead of "whole Internet") Could you point me to the relevant RFCs for the tunneling? - Alex ------------------------------------------------------- This SF.Net email sponsored by: Free pre-built ASP.NET sites including Data Reports, E-commerce, Portals, and Forums are available now.
