no networkt when pptp is active

Hi all!
I just wanted to test PPTP access and noticed, when a pptp connection is active, i can't access neither the firewall nor any of it's attached networks.
Has this also to do with the kerner nat module issue or is it a missconfiguration of my astaro? (Haven't installed the patch yet, cause connecting to my astaro as a pptp server seems to work just fine.)

Here's some more information about my system/setup:

Astaro 4.015, 3 NICs (WAN, LAN & WLAN)
added users for pptp connections with LAN subnet IPs
users can connect to my astaro via pptp and ping computer in my LAN
what further information do you need?

[/list]

Thanks a lot in advance.
Best regards.
Chris

yeah, sorry.
you're right.
The WLAN has the ip 192.168.2.254/24
Just a misstyping.

pptp user do not actually "dial in". I just want to use pptp as a secure host 2 net connection over the internet. The pptp clients get an IP from my LAN net. (Predefined IP for each user.)

You can't access from pptp client side correct?

Astaro does deny by default, so even if you don't have rules set to deny, it will still deny and you must open access through the firewall.

pptp client side can acces the internet as well as as the "normal" host in my LAN Network.
The "normal" hosts can't reach the internet anymore, when a pptp connection is esablished. :-/
(I know it sounds strange, but that's how it is.)

OK; it's beginning to make sense. The PPTP conection: it's being established with the firewall?

While the PPTP connection is established, on the internal host get a snapshot of its routing table (Windows: route print; Linux: route -n; Esperanto: itinero).
