Thanks for your advice, Michael. I will get it working like you proposed, I think. Our general ideas are the same, the exact outlines are just a bit different. BTW: if I add routes and the tunnels and if I don't add some ipchain-rules for the tunnels and new routes, the packets to the A and B networks will be dropped, won't they? My firewall affects ALL ip-packets that go through my server, I certainly hope...
Anyway; Andre, here in Netherlands, or at least in the east, Essent is the owner/supplier of the cable-services (and among these is @Home) Their general setup is a backbone with in every region a mainframe; to these large hub's/mainframes or whatever all local routers are connected. Within one town there are several routers. My problem is in these routers; mine is 213.51.198.1; friend A uses the same and friend B uses another gateway/router (dunno which one actually). All traffic coming from the client-side of the router is routed to the Internet and back but all traffic destined to a client that uses the same router is dropped. I haven't tried a portscan on the router (yet) because I'm not aware of the risks involved (what will happen if they see me performing that scan?? You bet they won't like it a lot...) Any suggestions on how to perform such in a stealthy way? It will make things a lot easier if I can use the shortest route to network A. Greetz, and thanks a lot so far for all contributions, a happy Mythiq. ; ) ----- Original Message ----- From: Andre Dalle <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> To: <[email protected]> Sent: Tuesday, June 26, 2001 3:27 PM Subject: Re: VPN and @Home > I've used the PoPToP daemon successfully to allow Win95/98 clients to connect > to me using the PPTP protocol.
