can't get PPTP VPN working with ipfw & nat

can't get PPTP VPN working with ipfw & nat

Here's the situation--I have a cable modem connected to my computer with
2 ethernet cards. I'm using ipfw & natd to do firewall and ip forwarding
duties. My girlfriend's computer can connect to the internet with no
problems, but she can't get her citrix vpn client to connect, even if I
change the firewall rules to this:

00100 divert 8668 ip from any to any via en1
00200 allow ip from 192.0.0.0/8 to any in
00300 allow ip from any to 192.168.150.0/24
00400 allow log ip from any to any

If she connects directly to the cable modem it works with no problem.

Anyone know what I'm missing here? The help desk at her employer says it
should work without 1 to 1 nat, but won't give me any specifics as they
only support their own hardware.

My private network address range is 192.168.150.1 (my machine) thru
192.168.150.10

TIA

In case you hadn't noticed: this newsgroup cannot answer you. It is all
about OpenBSD, and its own packetfilter pf. Of course pf is far
superior to ipfw so we, the group do not know anything about the lower
forms of life. ;-).

O, and pptp is something fundamentally different from citrix.

pptp uses tcp ports 1723 and protocol gre. citrix something else.
