I think my problem is here, because when I then run 'ifconfig tunl1:0' on the /25-box 'inet addr' is set to a.b.c.d, and also P-t-P is set to 'a.b.c.d'. 'inet addr' should maybe be set to the address I want to tunnel? On my home gateway 'inet addr' should be set to the tunneled address and P-t-P to a.b.c.d? And I'm sure it's not firewall related because I dropped all my rules before I started play. :-) _______________________________________________ LARTC mailing list LARTC@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxx http://mailman.ds9a.nl/cgi-bin/mailman/listinfo/lartc
