last time I installed PopTop, I had to install pptp support in netfilter through the Patch-o-Matic (not sure it's still valid). But I only needed that to allow multiple outbound PPTP connections from inside a NAT'd LAN (that is, I was NATing PPTP connections) To simply connect to PoPToP, you need to make sure your rules are correct in netfilter for allowing the protocol 47, port 1723, etc. to be forwarded. Remember if you're running poptop on a netfilter server, the INPUT and OUTPUT chains are important as is the FORWARD chain (all in the Filter table) > -----Original Message----- > From: netfilter-admin@lists.netfilter.org > [mailto:netfilter-admin@lists.netfilter.org] On Behalf Of > Jeffrey Corbit > Sent: Monday, February 24, 2003 11:23 AM > To: netfilter@lists.netfilter.org > Subject: Newbie Question > > > I'm running POPTOP on a linux 2.4.18 kernel.
