I'm getting closer.

Basically, I have at home a win-machine behind a FreeBSD box with user-ppp
and isdn. It is cheaper for me to use an alternative ISP than ourselves to
get the machines at work. However, then I don't have access to some
servers, because I come from a foreign (and dynamic) ip-adress.

So I install pptpd on a machine at work to make a tunnel and get a
"trusted" ip-adress.

Questions: man ppp, topic nat pptp suggest, that only one machine behind
ppp can run MS-vpn (over GRE). True?

Is it a problem that I only have one ethernet card on the pptpd-machine:
am I supposed to go in on one interface, be translated, and go out on the
other?

Any clues on setting up pptpd and ppp?
It seems that the adresses (localip and remoip) in pptpd.conf are ignored,
and the adresses in ppp.conf are used instead.


Currently, I can now connect from ms-vpn, and from the box running nntpd
ping the ip on the win-box. But then I can't ping from any other adresses.

Can I find some examples of poptop/pptpd and user-ppp somewhere?

Leif
