I am doing this with - I access an NT server at my work from Win95 boxes at
home through my Linux-box Internet gateway. To do so, I am using VPN (=
Virtual Private Networking), which uses a network component known as PPTP
(Point-to-Point Tunneling Protocol), also known as GRE (???). Getting PPTP
up on the WinX boxes is simple, you just install the new protocol and then
add a DUN connectoid, choosing the "VPN adapter" as the "modem" and the IP
address of the NT server as the "phone number". However, you will need to
patch and recompile your kernel to allow it to masquerade the PPTP. I found
a document and with some links to patches, etc. at
ftp://ftp.rubyriver.com/pub/jhardin/masquerade/ip_masq_vpn.html. I just got
this working myself: There were, and continue to be, problems - not the
least of which is, how to write a diald filter rule which catches the gre
packets.

Subject: IP Masquerading
Hello. I'd like to be able to connect throught my masquerading machine to a
computer behind it. Is there any method of doing this? It seems to me that
the linux machine could forward connections from the, say 100ABC, port to
the ABC port on the machine behind it. How could this be accomplished?
My reason for asking this is that I'm using xrindd to bring up the
connection to the internet, then update my free domain at penguinpowered.com
so I can connect from anywhere. However, I would also like to be able to
run pcanywhere on the machine behind the linux box.
Thanks,
Jacob Joseph
