Title: PPTP MULTIPOINT between 2 SME 5.5 Servers
Post by: Luis on January 23, 2003, 11:18:52 PM

Hi.. i need route traffic between 2 LAN  conected to Internet with fixed IP address

I read the howto from Sean Grey on "Contributed HOWTO Documents" (www.e-smith.org) but this howto is not very clear about "client" side (Other SME for me)

Any body know another howto, instructions  or package  for a easy routing using PPTP feature..

Sorry by my english 8(.. and thank you.

Luis

Most people use the FreeS/WAN contrib for creating an IPSec VPN between two SME servers... Is there a specific reason you want to use PPTP?

Also...
"DO NOT use NAT on the client-side, it will hide the network and the servers net
won't be able to route to the client network machines, this would kill network
printing, for example, where the queue is on the server net and the printer is
on the client net."

I assume you are using NAT on the client end as well, though I'm not sure if they mean a NAT-ed client, or a NAT-ed LAN behind the client. Personally, I'd just go with FreeS/WAN for connecting two SMEs...
