Hi All the clients were coming from a frame link router on the internal lan, I adjusted the routing there and it works fine, the linux firewall never have to deal with these packets. I tried to set the linux firewall as the deafult route to make it see the reply packets wich it did, but still this did not work, maybe the pptp patch where interfering i dont know. I also tried to create another routing table like this: ip rule add from 192.168.0.0/16 to $pptpsrv table pptp ip route add $pptpsrv via 192.168.1.2 table pptp but still the pptp traffic did not work. I belive that what I was trying to achive is not possible at the moment for pptp, with http pop etc. this works fine but pptp ................... Thanks for answering though.
