Fair 'nuff ;)

She gets an IP in the 10.0.58.0/24 range it seems. I just tried now, and
her IP address was 10.0.58.101, with a subnet mask of 255.255.255.255.

Yes.

Yeah--I'm currently in the process of adding things to the network.
Right now, my firewall is handing out DHCP leases. However, there's an
awkward interaction between iptables and DHCP. I'm not quite sure what's
causing it. Want a copy of my iptables script?

I'll try that in a few minutes. Thanks for the suggestion.

They seem to be.

You know, I'd noticed that but no flags had popped up in my head. I
should have realized that that sort of traffic ought to be in the GRE
tunnel.

You know, that sounds awfully feasible. The tunnel is being connected,
she refreshes the DHCP lease, and then traffic supposed to go through
the tunnel starts going through our gateway rather than her PPTP one.

It does.

Alright, I'll give that a whirl, too.

I appreciate the help. I'm CCing it back to the Debian list, so others
will have a chance to see this.
