pptpd help



Greetings,

Sorry about the crosspost--the machine in question is running testing, but
there isn't much traffic on the testing list...

I'm trying to setup pptp from a Windows XP machine to a Debian server.  Both
machines are on private networks, with the Internet in between.  I got
things working to a point (ignoring the MPPE encryption mess for now)--I can
connect from the XP machine to the Debian server, but my problem is that I
can only talk to the Debian server--not any other machines on the Debian
server's network.

Kernel is kernel-image-2.4.20-3-k6_2.4.20-9_i386.deb with the kernel-mppe
patch.

I have the router on the Debian side configured to pass traffic on port 1723
to the Debian server.


XP Machine --- LinkSys Router -- Internet -- LinkSys Router -- Debian server
(192.168.1.0/24)
172.16.1.4     172.16.1.254         ...      192.168.1.254     192.168.1.252

I have proxyarp in the pptpd.options file, and a proxy arp entry seems to be
added to the arp table:

Address                  HWtype  HWaddress           Flags Mask
Iface
192.168.1.1              ether   00:E0:06:ED:DF:4E   C
eth0
192.168.1.254            ether   00:06:25:89:A2:85   C
eth0
192.168.1.101            *       <from_interface>    MP
eth0

And here is the routing table.

Kernel IP routing table
Destination     Gateway         Genmask         Flags Metric Ref    Use
Iface
192.168.1.101   *               255.255.255.255 UH    0      0        0 ppp0
192.168.1.0     *               255.255.255.0   U     0      0        0 eth0
default         192.168.1.254   0.0.0.0         UG    0      0        0 eth0

When I ping other hosts on the Debian server's network the traffic is going
across the PPTP link, but nothing comes back.  What am I missing?
