Now that I'm more awake I'll try to explain a bit further. We have a e-smith
behind a LRP box doing portforwarding of 'mail, ssh, www,and pptp'. Our
outling offices are behind a LRP box doing pptp masq and it used to work
with a NT4 box inplace of the e-smith box. We can connect to e-smith no
probs, multiple m/c's at a time, (i've diabled 128encryption for ease of
setup), but when connected it seems that one only one box can ping the
e-smith and check mail. If I disconnect this box then another box can do the
same. I can browse the remote net but cannot connect (prob because of IP
forwarding and ipchains ? ). I have no idea where to go from here, but I'll
keep looking.
