I am trying to set up a server as a firewall/vpn server. I am using iptables 1.2.6a and poptop 1.1.3. I can connect to the poptop server just fine from the internet. I can ping to the 10.0.0.1 address that my poptop server uses on the internal interface from the poptop client, but I don't get any further that that. I can't ping anything else internally (ten net addresses) and I can't ping out to the address issued to the poptop client from a LAN machine. Any ideas on where to look?
