On a Fedora Core 3 machine
- running pptpclient
- pptpclient is configured to do "LAN to LAN"
- machine set to act as a router: /proc/sys/net/ipv4/ip_forward is set to 1
After I make the pptp connection I do: iptables -F
I think I would first disable iptables to get it out of the mix - as root:
/sbin/service iptables stop && /sbin/service iptables save /sbin/chkconfig iptables off
and then want to see the ip assignments and routes when you think you have it runningL

on the Linux side, and a statement of what the remote IP and destination subnet and mask are.
One more thing as an addendum to the last post. If I run tcpdump on the machine on the remote side of the vpn I never see the echo request come in. So it's more than just a return route problem.
As I see it, the problem is either on the FC3 machine not properly routing, or the VPN device is not properly handling it. Not sure how to really determine which is the culprit.
