OT: Linux VPN and routing HOWTO
Is IP forwarding enabled? cat /proc/sys/net/ipv4/ip_forward ? If its a zero, set it to a 1 (echo 1 > /proc/sys/net/ipv4/ip_forward)

Beyond that, use a packet sniffer like tcpdump to see what is appearing on the wire on both interfaces.

Thanks,
Matt

I'm Sorry to put this way OT subject here, but you guys usually come up with the answer anyway.

I'm trying to setup my linux at home so that I can VPN into it. Now I can connect already but can't ping or connect any of the machines in my network. I huess I have to setup some sort of routing now, but I can't find any a-z documentation on this topic.

I used the PPtP VPN sever that came with United linux

Once again sorry.

Jack
