I have been try to setup a firewall that will pass PPTP/L2TP traffic to a windows 2003 server inside the network... I am using Mandrake 9.2 with the 2.4.22-10mdksecure (delivered) kernel. I believe that I have shorewall configured correctly rules below: DNAT:info net loc:192.168.105.1 tcp 1701 - DNAT:info net loc:192.168.105.1 udp 1701 - DNAT:info net loc:192.168.105.1 tcp 1723 - DNAT:info net loc:192.168.105.1 47 - - and I am loading the following netfilter modules for natting pptp: ip_nat_pptp ip_conntrack_pptp ip_nat_proto_gre ip_conntrack_proto_gre The issue I am having is the when I try to VPN in to the nated windows server things seem to go ok for the initial communication but I get the error below: protocol 47 unreachable [tos 0xc0] After this occurs a half dozen times the vpn client errors out. I had found a googled message regarding something similar with the 2.4.22 kernel and tried to the patch-o-matic on it and I suspect that the mandrake 2.4.2-10mdk already has this issue patched since I did not see any patches that discussed this issue... I was wondering if there is anything I have missed in the FW rules or if I am missing load a module... Cheers and the for any help, D.
