Hello Group,
I have a Red Hat 6.2 firewall to serve my home network. Recently my
company started allowing us to access the company network using a VPN.
MY firewall is already set to port forwarding for ports, 80, 21, 23,
pcanywhere and have rules to allow other services like ICQ, dial pad and
etc. I tried similar rules for the VPN, using ports 1753 and 500, both
tcp/udp to no success. I looked at the "Linux VPN Masquerade HOWTO" and
did not know where to start.

Does anybody knows of a page where it's shown how to implement the VPN
service in a more "dummy" proof way? I am not too interested in the
science. Right now I am mostly into get it to work since I have to leave
my family without Internet access while I work from home and when I am
done doing a "network restart" does not work right and I have to end up
restarting the Red Hat box every time!

Also, will upgrading the box make it easier? I really hate to upgrade
this box since I only use it for a firewall...

Thanks to all of you,

Fernando Quinones
