Alrighty... here's some interesting news: (I hope this helps someone understand/guess what is going on)
So. I think to run 'iftop' while I go through this process that I've been going through. I run 'iftop -i tun0' after I have the VPN connection established so that it only shows me traffic on the tun0 interface. I ping my work machine. It starts by showing lines with unresolved IP addresses - but it shows two. One is the ip of my machine at work, the other is a related ip that I haven't seen before. _Then_ it resolves the ip's to names... and guess what? It finds the name of my computer! It says what building and room my computer is in. The other address that I didn't recognize? It resolves to dhcp.mtc.byu.edu. So. 'iftop' shows the ammount of traffic that is being sent and recieved. It shows that I'm sending traffic to those addresses - but that not a single bit (no pun intended) is being recieved back. So I try grdesktop - it times out, but iftop shows that I'm communicating with my work machine... just that it's a one way communication. Did this enlighten anyone? It felt good to know that at least I was resolving the ip's correctly. This also verified that tun0 is working as expected - if only in one direction. Anyone have any pointers as to what I should do now? -Rich -------------------- BYU Unix Users Group http://uug.byu.edu/ The opinions expressed in this message are the responsibility of their author.
