[pptp-server] A Few More Questions

[tmk]

ok, for the guy behind the firewall, you need the pptp masq module. the rest i'm not sure about, but it's likely a samba issue. 

read the encryption.txt file in /usr/doc/samba*/???.. it should help with those issues at least

  Okay, I'd like to thank the list for all the help - everything went smoothly after I found those rc4 files ;)

  However I now have some other issues with the fledgling VPN. I've read the FAQ and scratched around looking for solutions, but have had no luck.

  Currently, I have two test client trying to connect before I roll out the whole setup.

  Box A is a Win98 SE client behind a Linux masquerading firewall. My machine is a Linux box running Samba and PoPToP as well as masquerading back to my own private LAN.

  ------    Masquerading     ----------    Internet    --------
  --A-- -    -    -    -    -    -> ----LF---    -    -    -> ---LF--
  ------                             -----------                    -------
                                                                  Samba/PoPToP

  Box B is on a cable modem straight to the internet, no firewall frills at all.

  Now, behind my firewall are about 6 machines, of which 3 are Windows Clients (98SE, NT 4, Win2k). Samba runs fine amongst these machines with browse working (after many frustrating hours of setup), however I am currently setup to use plain text passwords.

  The problems with these machines are as follows: Box A cannot connect, there is an error in select generated in the log files - so I assume I need to setup some masq rules or install a module for masquerading?

  Box B can connect fine - but he cannot see the machines in Network Neighborhood, but I could see his shares (although I couldn't log in, connection attempts timed out). He is using Windows 98 with some patches for DUN and encryption installed, and all my successful tests have been with 98SE clients. Any configuraton caveats come to mind that could cause this behavior?
