No. It looks like this:

Windows-PC ---------> Linux Firewall --------------> Windows Server
  PPTP-Client           connection tracking             PPTP-Server
  private IP        private          official
                      IP                IP

I don't think that I need the local nat stuff, do I?

PS: Can I tell the runme script of patch-o-matic to list all applied
patches? As far as I know it only shows the applied patches when you
tell it to apply some patches, but I can not export this list to a file.
