The other site I'm connecting to is a debian machine running pptpd in a colo .
 
Maybe there is a posibility to track changes between monowall 1.21 and pfsense 1.0beta2 and handling nat and filter rules for pptp?
On monowall 1.21 with the same config there is no problem?
 
And the problem does not occur when enabling the pptp server in pfsense, it realy hapens when creating the nat and filter rules, I have just tested that. (can someone else also confirm that?)

Subject: RE: [pfSense Support] Creating a PPTP connection from behind pfsense

The really strange thing about that phenomenon is that W2K clients from behind pfSense can ALWAYS connect through a PPTP enabled pfSense to any remote PPTP location.
An XP client can connect fine to a m0n0 1.11 PPTP Server through an PPTP enabled pfSense but refuses to connect to another remote pfSense PPTP Server.
There are other things to this problem that don't make sense at all (and it really doesn't show up in my testlab or at everybodies connection though I have two real life locations now showing the same behavior).
If anybody has a clue or a hint we would appreciate any help on this as this is an odd still persisting problem.
