Looks like my rules are even more open:

--> for OPT1:
* * * * *

--> for LAN:
* * * * *

Also I've tried this a little less open version:

--> for OPT1:
* OPT1 Net * * *

--> for LAN:
* LAN Net * * *

As I'm hoping to communicate freely, as opposed to via PPTP, between the
two networks, no, it doesn't really answer my question, but still
interesting though :)

The strange thing is that my brother runs with a configuration very
similar to mine (actually the less open version above), and has no
trouble either ping'ing or otherwise communicating between the two nets.
Whereas I can't even ping m0n0wall itself, if trying the LAN IP from a
machine on the OPT1 network??? (Only real differences between our setups
are different subnet IP's and the fact that my brother runs his m0n0wall
on a 4501, while I'm using the generic PC image.)

Let me know if you (or anyone else?) have any suggestions to what might
be wrong with my setup?


Adam.
