I\'m quite new to this so please be patient to me. 

I\'v sett up a RedHat 6.1 box runnning 2.2.17 and ipchains as a firewall for a internal
10.0.0.1 net. I want to connect to the firewall somewhere on the internet and be able to 
se all the \"internal\" machines, mount their disks an log on the W2k domain thats
inside there.

After spending some time reading manny FAQ\'s and HOWTO\'s I\'m still a little confused. 
Can someone please tell me if this is the right way to manage this. 

Get the source for ppp 2.3.8.
Get the source for SSLeya
Get the some kind of patch for ppp.

Aply the patches on ppp, and then compile it. 

I\'m currently running ppp 2.3.10-1 and have succeed installing the pptpd RPM. 

When I try connecting to the server (with all the ipchains wide open) I get several errors
such as

No free connection slots ot IPs - no more can connect. 
peer refused  to authenticate: terminating link


Can someone please help me with some bright ideas to sett this upp and to config ipchains 
to accept the connections.
