[pptp-server] Remote not connecting !

[Noel Schaefer]

I have had the hardiest time getting my remote clients to connect !
My local clients have no trouble connection
it is kinda strange that i am having this difficulty.


Do i need "NAT" software to get remote clients to connect.
Or just some thing simple like adding new rules to "ipchains" ?!

Thank you for your time !
