RE: multiple nat'd clients to poptop

v1.2.11.  This is on RHEL3v3.  I figured if I had to recompile iptables I might as well upgrade while I was at it.  
 
It could also be that the hardware device does not support multiple NAT'd GRE packets.  I've had problems with some clients using some (not all) Linksys devices.  Some others that are based on the Linux kernel are more likely to fail as well (from what I've been told and found in some news groups).

If I load ip_nat_pptp then only one person can connect and on the first time only.  Subsequent attempts fail.  I have asked but received no feedback on this as well.  But hopefully this will help you as well.

I have the conntrack patch applied on the server machine. The clients
are behind a hardware router/firewall (not a PC).

Ok, thanks for the info. Which iptables rules do you have running in
conjunction with this?


cheers,
 Craig
