When I had setup the m0n0wall pptp server and added a user account, I was able to connect to m0n0wall. The session stayed active and I could see the session detail, but I too could not ping anything on the LAN, even though from the remote client doing an ipconfig /all showed that I had a pptp local IP from the office. I read from the link I sent about adding a line to the windows hosts file located in c:\winnt\system32\drivers\etc. You will see something like: # For example: # # 102.54.94.97 rhino.acme.com # source server # 38.25.63.10 x.acme.com # x client host 127.0.0.1 localhost soo...for a given internal www server 192.168.1.5 office.server,local #intranet ww server Adding this will allow you to ping that workstation, but to get to the webpage on that workstation, I think you wil need an internal DNS. Cheap solutions...While I am no *nix/bsd person, I know that just about any downloadable distro can be configured for www and dns. Likewise poptop http://www.poptop.org/ is an open-source pptp project for *nix. I was thinking about loading this on a debian box to toil with myself. > I have a Mandrake linux system on the other side of the firewall and I can't seem > to see it as well as the other windoze boxes. This may because windoze boxes are prone to being wide open, while your drake box has fewer ports/services open > I can tracert and ping outside the wan from the PPTP but I can't http or ping inside the lan. I am not sure I follow this....... If I haven't answered your question. Let me know. Honestly, I am not sure I understand what your asking. - Don On Apr 2, 2005 5:41 PM, Ed Lentz <elentz at gmail dot com> wrote: > That seems to work for you but I want something simple and cheap :).
