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.

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?
