Subject: Multiple PPTP connections from same public IP ?
Date: Tue, 31 Jul 2007 15:36:20 -0600 [thread overview]
Message-ID: <46AFAB54.5020602@pason.com> (raw)
Hey,
I am running Centos 4.4 fully patched and am having a problem PPTP connections.
Right now the PPTP server is on the public network and is working correctly for connections from all clients. We have a private network from behind a firewall, let's call
it firewall A. A single client from behind firewall A can connect with out a problem, however if a second client tries to connect from behind firewall A it looks like
firewall A does not forward the PPP LCP packets.
Am I correct that mutliple GRE (proto 47) tunnels would be a problem when the clients have the same IP address ?
We are running the standard kernel 2.6.9-42.0.3.EL.
Firewall A inside interface:

8 1.910061 server client PPTP Outgoing-Call-Reply
