[pptp-server] Can't ping the local LAN

[Gary Bowers]

Thanks,

Ipforwaring was on, but my firewall was blocking forwarding.  I put the
extra rules in the IPup script, and it works great now.

PS anyone know how to make the #$&%^ Network Neighborhood work?

ok, assuming your local net is 192.168.81.0/24 and your remote side of the
pptp connection is being assigned 192.168.81.101, do:

ipchains -P forward DENY
ipchains -A forward -s 192.168.81.0/24 -d 192.168.81.101 -j ACCEPT
ipchains -A forward -s 192.168.81.101 -d 192.168.81.0/24 -j ACCEPT

see if that helps
