I have successfully setup a pptp server and tested it locally. After I put
it behind my current Redhat 6.2 firewall, it failed to connect to server.
I have the current ipchains rules setup for PPTP,
# port forwarding for 1723
ipmasqadm portfw -a -P tcp -L 211.2.228.100 1723 -R 192.168.0.6 1723
# redirect protocol 47
/usr/local/sbin/ipfwd --masq 192.168.0.6 47 &
# ipchains section
$IPCHAINS -A input -p tcp -d 192.168.0.2/24 1723 -j ACCEPT
$IPCHAINS -A input -p tcp -s 192.168.0.2/24 1723 -j ACCEPT
$IPCHAINS -A input -p 47 -d 192.168.0.2/24 -j ACCEPT
$IPCHAINS -A input -p 47 -s 192.168.0.2/24 -j ACCEPT
$IPCHAINS -A output -p tcp -d 192.168.0.2/24 1723 -j ACCEPT
$IPCHAINS -A output -p tcp -s 192.168.0.2/24 1723 -j ACCEPT
$IPCHAINS -A output -p 47 -d 192.168.0.2/24 -j ACCEPT
$IPCHAINS -A output -p 47 -s 192.168.0.2/24 -j ACCEPT
$IPCHAINS -A forward -p tcp -d 192.168.0.2/24 1723 -j ACCEPT
$IPCHAINS -A forward -p tcp -s 192.168.0.2/24 1723 -j ACCEPT
$IPCHAINS -A forward -p 47 -d 192.168.0.2/24 -j ACCEPT
$IPCHAINS -A forward -p 47 -s 192.168.0.2/24 -j ACCEPT
But I got the following error when I tried to access from my pptp-linux
client to server through firewall,
warn[open_inetsock:pptp_callmgr.c:287]: connect: No route to host
fatal[callmgr_main:pptp_callmgr.c:122]: Could not open control connection
to 211.2.228.100
fatal[launch_callmgr:pptp.c:213]: Call manager exited with error 256
And got 629 error if access from windows 98 client?
Any clue?
Thanks in advance.
