Ok, thanks, but this setup with the NATed router worked with kernel 2.2.17, so where is the difference?

Hi
We have noticed a problem with PPTP forwarding not working as it should.
We have a system on kernel 2.4.24 with latest pom and iptables 1.2.9. There is a port forwarding PPTP to a windows 2000 server behind the firewall.
We noticed that when someone connects with PPTP the connection is closed
after 3 to 4 minutes. This problem only occurs if there is a router in
nat mode between the firewall and the internet. If the public ip is on
the firewall then this problem does not occur.
You cannot operate PPTP across a NATted connection without a special helper module (hence your need for pom as stated above).
If the other nat-mode router does not have a suitable helper for PPTP then you can't use this combination.

Antony.
