Hi Fred,

I have the exact same setup (with a net4501) and problem.


After connecting to my monowall with the linux pptp client, I ran tcpdump:

waylander:~# tcpdump -w pptp.cap -s 1536 -i ppp0 ip proto 47
tcpdump: listening on ppp0, link-type LINUX_SLL (Linux cooked), capture 
size 1536 bytes
''0 packets captured
0 packets received by filter
0 packets dropped by kernel


Am I typing something wrong?



Thanks,

Mark
