[pptp-server] pptp through firewall

[Christopher Kalos]

Okay, here goes... Sorry about the confusion, I misinterpreted "remote end"
as "client."

1) Cut/Paste of /var/log/messages for pptp connection from remote.
Jul 19 12:11:29 thing pppd[17845]: pppd 2.3.11 started by root, uid 0
Jul 19 12:11:29 thing pppd[17845]: Using interface ppp0
Jul 19 12:11:29 thing pppd[17845]: Connect: ppp0 <--> /dev/pts/0
Jul 19 12:11:32 thing pppd[17845]: CHAP peer authentication succeeded for
vpnuser
Jul 19 12:11:36 thing pppd[17845]: found interface eth0 for proxy arp
Jul 19 12:11:36 thing pppd[17845]: local  IP address 192.168.200.240
Jul 19 12:11:36 thing pppd[17845]: remote IP address 192.168.200.242

2) Cut/Paste of "ifconfig ppp0" after connection is brought up.
ppp0      Link encap:Point-to-Point Protocol
          inet addr:192.168.200.240  P-t-P:192.168.200.242

          TX packets:22 errors:0 dropped:0 overruns:0 carrier:0

3) Cut/Paste of "netstat -rn"

Best I can tell from your post - your problem is probably related to either
routing and/or the proxyarp function is not working when you establish your
connection. Could also be ipchain/iptable related. Please include the
following:

1) Cut/Paste of /var/log/messages for pptp connection from remote.
2) Cut/Paste of "ifconfig ppp0" after connection is brought up.
3) Cut/Paste of "netstat -rn"
