[pptp-server] one way tunnel on w2k not w98 (this time w/text and feeling)

[Jay T. McCanta]

I have a windows 2k SP2 box and a windows 98SE box making connections to a
Linux box running 2.2.19 kernel with pptpd v1.0.1 and pppd v 2.3.11 with the
mppe patches.  This same box is a firewall and Samba server.  From the
windows 98 box, I can browse, map and generally windows my way around the
network.  I am using an lmhosts file because my network is tiny and it was
easier than setting up wins.  I see it using 128 bit encryption and
everything works both directions.

The win2k box is another matter. I can't browse, etc. but the thing that has
me curious is that from my pptp/firewall/samba server, I cannot ping the
win2k client.  I can't make any connections to the client from the server.
The client can telnet and ftp and do general tcp stuff.  However, from the
server, I cannot ping/telnet/ftp to the client, and yes, the client has
telnet and ftp daemons running (at least while I was testing).  The most
common error I get is "no route to host".  I have looked at How to on the
PoPToP website and at
http://home.swbell.net/berzerke/2.4_Kernel_PPTPD-HOWTO.txt  I believe I am
doing everything right - the windows98 box would imply that.  What weird w2k
thing is stalking me?

I appreciate an extra set of eyes or two looking at this.
