[Openswan Users] wrong gateway ip assigned

[Deepak Naidu]

Hi,
   
  If not mistaken check the ip_forward in your VPN server box.  It should be 1.

 

# Enable packet forwarding 

# echo 1 > /proc/sys/net/ipv4/ip_forward 

 

Else u will only be able to reach ur VPN server host and not other hosts in the network, even if the route is proper....

HI, this is my first post!
My scenario:
- a debian box in the office with 2 eths 1 with local ip and 1 with
public ip, some iptables rules and NAT.Openswan and l2tp installed.
kernel 2.6

- clients connecting from home via winxp l2tp/ipsec default client and
a custom certificate.

I configured the openswan server following nate carlson's tutorial at
http://www.natecarlson.com/linux/ipsec-l2tp.php.

I can connect and I'm authenticated in the right way, The ip address I
want is assigned, I can even ssh the server (this is possible only for
local LAN's ip through hosts.allow/.deny) but I can't ping or see
other local LAN's pc and can't navigate to Internet.

>From xp client a "route PRINT" command shows that the default gateway
assigned by the server is the same ip assigned to the client.

Where am I wrong????

thanks in advance
