Hi, I'm trying to create an net-to-net VPN. {192.168.0.0/24}--[192.168.0.1]-VPN/INET-[192.168.1.1]--{192.168.1.0/24} LAN GATEWAY GATEWAY LAN Everything seems to be fine: 1. I'm able to ping 192.168.1.1 from 192.168.0.1 (so, racoon allready established the tunnel 2. I'm able to ping 192.168.0.1 from 192.168.1.1 (so, both ways are ok) 3. if I try to ping 192.168.1.1 from 192.168.0.0/24 then racoon is establishing the tunnel 4. if I try to ping 192.168.0.1 from 192.168.1.0/24 then racoon is establishing the tunnel But in case 3 und 4 the client from the LAN does not got an reply on his request. As I noticed the problem is the gateway from the lan which the client is in (so in case 3 the problem is 192.168.0.1). Also (in case 3) I noticed that the reply has been send from 192.168.1.1 but it gets "lost" on 192.168.0.1. So I added some rules to iptables on 192.168.0.1 and I noticed that the packet access the PREROUTING chain in the table mangle but never access the PREROUTING chain in the table nat. I think it should because of the packet flow (http://www.siliconvalleyccie.com/images/iptables.gif) ?!?!?! Why does this packet never access the PREROUTING chain in "nat" (and all other following chains)? Any suggestions? Daniel
