Albert, I don�t know what solution you use for your PPTP implementation but if you�re not aware there is a free project called PoPToP for linux. http://www.moretonbay.com/vpn/pptp.html It even includes some patches to make security with windows better. There is a mailing list for the project (see page above). Maybe you can get some answers there? The postings are archived at: http://lists.schulte.org/pipermail/pptp-server/ There is also some howtos on linuxdoc.org (vpn howto and vpn masquerade howto) Hope this brings you closer Regards Mads Rasmussen / Ci&T systems www.cit.com.br ----- Original Message ----- From: "Albert E.
