hi all, i am having some problems getting the pptp server working behind the firewall. What i've done so far. got the linux-2.4.20 got patch-o-matic-20030107 and patched with pptp got iptables-1.8 compiled the kernel with GRE and PPTP support recompiled iptables 1.8 set these rules: right now i don't care about security /etc/iptables -P INPUT ACCEPT /etc/iptables -F INPUT /etc/iptables -P OUTPUT ACCEPT /etc/iptables -F OUTPUT /etc/iptables -P FORWARD ACCEPT /etc/iptables -F FORWARD /etc/iptables -t nat -F #Note eth0 has public ip # eth1 private network /etc/iptables -A FORWARD -i eth0 -o eth1 -m state --state NEW,ESTABLISHED,RELATED -j ACCEPT /etc/iptables -A FORWARD -i eth1 -o eth0 -j ACCEPT /etc/iptables -t nat -A PREROUTING --dport 1723 -j LOG /etc/iptables -t nat -A PREROUTING -p 47 -j LOG /etc/iptables -t nat -A PREROUTING -i eth0 -p tcp --dport 1723 -j DNAT --to-destination 192.168.0.2:1723 /etc/iptables -t nat -A PREROUTING -i eth0 -p 47 -j DNAT --to-destination 192.168.0.2 /etc/iptables -t nat -A POSTROUTING -o eth0 -j MASQUERADE /etc/echo "1" > /proc/sys/net/ipv4/ip_forward so if i try the connection i get an Error 721 (Windows XP). i checked the vpn server and i doesn't get the request to login from the Event log. i'm sure the vpn server is working okay since i can log in from inside the private network. i think that the rules i used are wrong.
