Searching the archives is very difficult. I have a small LAN, connected to the Internet via a Red Hat Fedora Core 3 firewall running netfilter. I would like to run the Microsoft VPN software on a windows machine on this network and connect to a VPN server located on the Internet side of the firewall. The windows server uses NAT to connect to the Internet. I configured the VPN client while it was directly on the Internet, and it works fine. When I try to connect from behind the firewall it fails to connect. Searching for help on the Internet has not been very productive. Everything I can find on the net is very old. Linux kernels 2.2 and 2.4. I'm currently running 2.6.12 with iptables 1.2.11. -- Harold Pritchett harold@uga.edu +1.706.546.0692 pgp public key: http://www.arches.uga.edu/~harold/pgpkey.html "The Internet is for porn.
