Try again!! RAS Easy??

collector · Feb 1, 2000

OK Maybe easy for some people but to us beginners? 
I have been able to succesfully instal RAS on my NT4.0 system. I have also succesfully installed the latest DUN for 95 on another PC. I have succesfully connected to my NT server over the internet. (NT server has 2 NIC cards 1 for internal network and one for internet). So far so good. When PPTP is enabled I can not ping my RAS IP address. (also good because with pptp enabled I shouldnt be able to). When I turn pptp off I can ping so i know I have a good connection. 
Problem(may be routing which for some reason I cannot get the hang of): 
I can not telnet through to my internal machines (One is an AIX system the other is a HP/UX system) I can telnet to them by the way from the NT server itself. I have ALMOST given up on this and called in a pro. This is my last ditch effort! Any takers?

collector - 
I am NOT an expert at this, but it sounds as though your NT box is acting like a firewall, and not forwarding Telnet packets. You can originate telnet packets from it, but when they originate somewhere else, it does not relay them. Do you have IP forwarding turned on? Take a look at the tabs in the screens in your Network Properties icon in Control Panel - see if turning IP Forwarding on solves the problem.

Thanks Fred, 
YEP! IP forwarding is enabled. Im leaning towards a routing problem but still havent figured it out.
