Hey there listmembers! I know this issue has been discussed alot but im still abit confused. Let me say that if i get this to work i will write a detailed describtion on how i did it, kind of a hands-on howto :) Ive managed sucessfully to patch 2.4.18 kernel with the newest patch-o-matic and get it to compile. The linuxkernel was a vanillatype thing downloaded from kernel.org and patch-o-matic was downloaded from here : ftp://ftp.netfilter.org/pub/patch-o-matic/snapshot/patch-o-matic-20021028.tar.bz2 ive loaded the modules : ip_conntrack_pptp 2400 0 (unused) ip_conntrack_proto_gre 2432 0 [ip_conntrack_pptp] Now im abit confused on the rules i need to apply to my firewall to make it work. Case is this : Client<------>[Firewall/NAT]<------>[INTERNET]<------>[SERVER] So my only worry is howto "translate" GRE packets and allow clients on inside of firewall to establish PPTP to server on internet through firewall. So fare ive added these rules to firewall : $IPTABLES -A lan_chain -p 47 -s $LAN_NET2 -j ACCEPT $IPTABLES -A lan_chain -p tcp --dport 1723 -s $LAN_NET2 -j ACCEPT lan_chain are outgoing chain. Is this all i need to add to firewall to make it work or am i overlooking something? Please let me know if you need additional information on setup/configuration to help me solve this puzzle!
