I tried this also before but all the posts made me thinking about some
iptables rules I saw configured in the box.

Now everything works as expected, but I noticed (doing 'ipconfig' on
winxp clients) that the netmask assigned is 255.255.255.255 instead of
255.255.255.0, how can I correct this???

I thought was an l2tp issue so I add "netmask 255.255.255.0"

in /etc/ppp/options.l2tpd.lns

but nothing changed. 

Any hints??????

thanks in advance
