Anyone know how to Forward PPTP to Internal server.
Running SME 6.01

I would like to use an internal server for:
DHCP, PPTP

Would like to use SME as a firewall/router/gateway ONLY!

You could try to forward ports 47 and 1723 to the internal machine. Don't know if it will work with SME but it does work with routers.

Come back and let everyone know how it goes.

I think you may find that it is Protocol:GRE which uses port 47. At least the IPCOP firewall I set up last week is working that way since I can VPN into the SME Server behind it.

I apologise for my previous post, cc_skavenger is correct.

For anyone interested in the inner workings of VPN Pass through of GRE Protocol 47, take a look at this HowTo on the Linux Documentation Project site http://ldp.4051.net/HOWTO/VPN-Masquerade-HOWTO.html#toc1.
