Hello all!
I am running into a strange VPN problem between our offices here and in a
second location. 
Here is the configuration.

(Site1) VPN client --> Firewall <--> Internet  <--> Firewall --> VPN client
(Site 2) -will not allow a second VPN connection to site 1! Why?

(I am terrible at ASCI art so I will do my best to explain.)

There are 2 sites. If a client at site 1 makes a VPN connection to site 2
all is well. And likewise if a client from site 2 makes a VPN connection to
site 1 all is well.
The problems start when a second client from site 2 attempts a VPN
connection to site 1 they can't do it. 

Does this sound to anyone like a firewall issue or a server configuration
issue?

I am hoping that this something that could be solved by using Bering 1.2
with shorewall.

We are running FloppyFW right now with Iptables rules to allow VPN inbound
and outbound at both locations. (But this package does not have any modules
to manage these connections ie. #

Modules needed for PPTP connection
slhc
ppp_generic
ppp_async
ppp_mppe

These modules are enabled on my Bering box. Would using these modules with
Bering solve this VPN problem? 

I would be happy to answer any questions to clarify this further if needed.

Thanks in advance!

Troy
