[pptp-server] Win VPN clients behind RedHat6.2 firewall conne ctions to WinNT4 VPN server fails

[Cowles, Steve]

If I understand your post correctly... it sounds like you need to patch your
linux kernel with the ip masq VPN patch available at:

I can't seem to get our Windows VPN clients to connect to a remote WinNT4
VPN server through our internal shared Internet connection.  I setup
RedHat6.2 to perform the NAT functions using ipchains.  It appears that the
Windows clients connect but don't authenticate.  The connections timeout
with error 721 (Remote computer not responding).  I can ping the remote VPN
server from our internal network.

Win Clients  ------->   RedHat6.2 NAT (ipchains)  --------> Internet
----------> WinNT4 VPN server

Any ideas?
