....story continues....

Is there any difference in the way FreeBSD and Linux (2.4 kernel) 
handles PPTP/NAT?

Scenario:

- Client: WinXP

- "Local"-Firewall: E-Smith (running modified RedHat)

- PPTP server 1: E-Smith
- PPTP server 2: Linksys WRT54G running Sveasoft firmware (Linux)
- PPTP server 3/4: Monowall 1.2b9

I can connect to both PPTP server 1 & 2 without any issues. Whenever I 
try to connect to a PPTP server running on Monowall my local firewall 
drops all GRE packets from Monowall....why?

For a brief moment today I messed up my local firewall (blocking all 
external access to services) and during that time I were able to connect 
to the Monowall PPTP server.

Argh!!!...I wish knew what were wrong!
