Hola! (this is the full extent of my Spanish language skills, sorry) I am in charge of IT for a large french real-estate company that has offices in Madrid and Barcelona. Our objective is to integrate these offices into the company's global VPN using Debian gateways with FreeSwan.
The Debian gateways have been installed and mostly configured in Madrid and Barcelona by myself except for one crucial detail: our Infonegocio ADSL (over ISDN) connections come with a Nokia M1112 router that keeps the public IP to itself and NATs the internal private IPs. We need the Debian gateway machine to have that public IP in order to connect to the VPN. During my short stay in Madrid and Barcelona I haven't had time to explore the router's full capabilities but it seems that it supports a "transparent bridge" mode that simply forward PPPoE or PPPoA frames intact instead of acting as a router. What I'd like is to find a consultant in both cities that: - knows how to configure the M1112 in order to have our Debian machine act as the gateway with the public IP, - knows Debian (sid) very well, - or has suggestions towards an alternative solution: get a plain ADSL modem or PCI card instead of the M1112, Please contact me by private e-mail if you are interested by this mission. Gracias in advance for your consideration, Cheers, -- Louis-David
