(I submitted this a couple of days ago to freebsd-net, and didn't
hear anything, so I thought I'd try this list. Hopefully somebody can
help me out. --RWM)


I am trying to get a FreeBSD ipfw firewall to pass Windows PPTP
client traffic through to a Windows NT box behind the firewall. I
have successfully used the pptpalias command in natd on a FreeBSD 3.4
box over the last couple of years to pass through PPTP traffic to
both NT and 2000 servers. However I now have a client with a FreeBSD
4.4 box that wants to do the same thing, and unfortunately pptpalias
has not been included in natd since 4.0.

If I am correct, all I should need to do is put a redirect_proto line
in natd.conf instead of the pptpalias line, like below:

redirect_proto 47  192.168.0.51
redirect_port  tcp 192.168.0.51:1723 1723


I think I have the redirect_proto line correct. But, I might not.
I've tried it with GRE instead of 47, but that didn't work either.

The thing that bothers me is that when I run ethereal on the Windows
server behind the firewall, I see 0 GRE packets and 0 1723 packets.
So that makes me think it's the firewall.

Is there a problem with my natd.conf, or do I need a firewall rule?
Or is it because of the funky combination of XP PPTP clients, FreeBSD
PPTP passthrough and NT PPTP severs? Or is it something more serious
like needing to recompile the kernel?

Any and all help will be greatly appreciated.
