You did not draw a network diagram so I'm guessing you are trying to use
the box with the routes above as a gateway.

The obvious thing that comes to mind is wether IP forwaridng is
enabled.

cat /proc/sys/net/ipv4/ip_forward
this should return 1

you can set it manuall by doing
echo 1 > /proc/sys/net/ipv4/ip_forward

Or more permanently using in /etc/sysctl.conf with
net.ipv4.ip_forward = 1

Any more help than that requires some ASCII art on your part :)

Sorry for too little information:

ADSL-bridge ==========[ server       ]------- 192.168.17.0 network of machines
                      [202.7.144.237 ]
                      [192.168.17.254]
                      [ pptp server  ]


logger--[CDM NextG Router]. . . . B
                                  i
logger--[CDM NextG Router]. . . . g
                                  P
                                  o
                                  n
                                  d

Now <some hearsay> bigpond allocates a dynamic address to the nextG routers
The addresses are private and bigpond MASQs them to the internet

The loggers establish a (MS) VPN tunnel to the server
The server end is 192.168.1.1 the logger end is 192.168.1.101, 102 etc
Machines in the 192.168.17.0 network need to interact with the loggers

So we have:
[machines-on-192.168.17.0]  connect to the internet via server as GW and MASQ
(Forwarding on, this works)

I must add a route for 192.168.1.0 to the DHCP from server so that the machines can access the loggers at 192.168.1.101 etc (machines get from DHCP)

I can't see *any* reply from ..17.254 when ..1.102 pings it.

Look at everything:
tethereal -i any 'icmp[icmptype] == icmp-echo or icmp[icmptype] == icmp-echoreply'

28.000237 192.168.1.102 -> 192.168.17.254 ICMP Echo (ping) request 33.242204 192.168.1.102 -> 192.168.17.254 ICMP Echo (ping) request 38.749529 192.168.1.102 -> 192.168.17.254 ICMP Echo (ping) request

So my question is what/why/how have I screwed up the routing?
I've messed with the routing, and I'm testing 2 'loggers' but 1 is the same

James

What routes are setup on the loggers? I'm thinking you'd have a default route to 192.168.1.1.
Can you show us the output from a traceroute from a logger to .17.254?

Also, have you checked for interfering firewall rules?

Cheers,
