greetings to all. Newbie to SME server but not to Unix.
For something different to the VPN plethora. Have just setup a SME 6.5 machine to use as our firewall and all so far is good.
PC's (XP) --> proxy/mail RH 7.0 squid/sendmail --> sme 6.5 --> adsl router/modem.
Got told to VPN in must install openvpn & did as instructions from Swerts-Knudsen.dk openvpn server-client howto & have yet to test this.
Is this correct, had to download & install several rpms.
Next, I can VPN out to our sites bar one. They use a snapgear firewall/router & with the configuring of the XP VPN, the connection is to be pptp vpn rather than automatic like the rest. When I try to connect, I get the old error 619 connection issue. TCP 1723 has been opened. From the tcpdump it seems to be the GRE packets. How does one do/what does one edit to allow Protocol 47 through. That is IF this is what I require to get the thing working.
Question one must ask is, why this 'common' VPN protocol cause so much trouble.
Last but not least, is a question, why/how to allow more that 1 user vpn on the same network to connect to the same site.
TIA
Valdis
