I have set up ASL as a wireless network firewall and would like to be able to securely access the internet from the wireless network.
Wireless interface - 192.168.2.253 - No gateway
Internal interface - 192.168.1.253 - Gateway 192.168.1.1 (gateway is an ADSL modem/router)
The WinXP m/c can access the internal network without a problem through a PPTP connection but cannot get out and onto the internet like other devices on the internal network.
The winXP m/c receives a static address of 192.168.1.252 from ASL for its PPTP connection and the 'default gateway' received is blank.
Is it possible for the PPTP connection to be set up to access the Internet? I can't find any way of setting the gateway for PPTP connections anywhere in ASL. Is there a different approach to take?
Cheers,
Tim
P.S I realise PPTP is not that secure. IPSec will be attempted when I've got PPTP working.

but it's not correct in my experience. When I have tried to access the internet from my DMZ I've had to have a masq rule from the DMZ to the internet. . .and also appropriate packet filter rules to allow the DMZ to access the 'net and get replies. Without both of those factors, I don't think you'll get anywhere.
