I recently purchased and installed RH 7.2. The box it is installed on acts as a simple router. I have 3 NICS connecting a IPX/SPX Netware server, a DSL bridge (modem, whatever) and an Internal Network. I use IPchains (fairly open At the moment) and Masqurade the Internal net (192.168.x.x) to the DSL bridge (internet). Using old scripts I wrote for the firewall, ipx routing, etc; I was quickly able to configure the RH 7.2 installation. It works great except for one thing that is DRIVING me NUTS!!!
I connect to a remote customer (on the net) to diagnose problems in a system I wrote for them. I need to VPN to their Windoze2K server. With the previous Redhat 7.0 installation, I only needed to install the ip_masq_pptp module to allow the GRE (prot 47) packets to make it to the interface. The Redhat 7.2 installation does not include the module ip_masq_pptp anywhere. I tried loading ip_gre.o after looking at the source thinking it may have replaced ip_masq_pptp or something. It still does not work. I have spent the last two days running searches on the Web, newsgroups and any listservs I can find. I found compiled modules (ip_masq.pptp.o) on ftp sites but, I cannot load them as the versions do not match. I tried a recompile on the kernel with all the masquerading and GRE stuff turned on but, despite the fact I gave it a seperate name and entry (in GRUB - which is new to me) I ended up with a FUBAR installation and had to completely reinstall from scratch again. sigh :( Working aweful hard for the fact I am not getting anywhere and I can find no documentation to help. Can someone please help me or at least give me a clue? thank you in advance, shinji __________________________________________________ Do You Yahoo!? LAUNCH - Your Yahoo!
