Ok... heres hints for running PPTPd on a Masq server:

1. You have to have a *non-masq* rout between the subnets in the pptpd.conf
file -- e.g. I use:

  ipchains -F forward
  ipchains -A forward -s 192.0.3.0/24 -d 192.168.0.0/24
  ipchains -A -s 192.0.3.0/24 -j MASQ


This allows the link to come up & become connected, but I am still having a
problem:
The NT machine cannot see the entire inside subnet (i.e. ping 192.0.3.1
[PPTP inside address] works, as does ping 192.0.3.245 [Pptp inside end
address], but ping 192.0.3.2 [an NT box on the inside] does not.

The NT Box on the inside can ping 192.0.3.245, but no 192.168.0.245 (PPTP's
given address).

Any ideas?

TIA,
Thor Johnson


Log is attached, but I think the only interesting line is:
