Hello Everyone.
I found a complete poptop package for Red Hat 9 (3 rpm´s and 1 additional
installation script). It was posted by someone in the poptop mailing lists.
So, I downloaded it, and installed the 3 rpm´s according to the
instructions, and ran the configuration script.
After that, i changed 3 .conf files and the vpn started working flawlessly,
in my internal network.
So, I opened the 1743 port in firestarter and added a line in my rc.local
file to allow the gre protocol. (iptables -I INPUT -p gre -j ACCEPT)
And I can connect using Windows 2000 to the vpn server with no effort at
all.
Thanks to everyone who answered.
poptop won.
