Linux IP Masq and Nortel Extranet Client

[jmaegli]

Hello,
I have a NT laptop running Nortel Networks Extranet client. When I dialin to
my ISP the client connects and everything works great.  Now the rub, I have
an at home network with 5 Win 98 and NT boxes, one sun and 3 Linux
workstations. One of the Linux boxes is my gateway to the internet.
This box has the modem and all other boxes use this as their gateway. When I
make my connection, everything works fine, HTTP, Email, Telnet etc. but when
I try to connect the client (the one that works as mentioned before) I can
not connect and get the message "Failure Do to remote host not responding" I
do see a UDP packet on port 500 and my firewall is opened up so I'm not
getting blocked there.
If anyone has any thoughts or white papers on this kind of setup especially
with a Linux gateway please let me know.   Thanx so much for your time.
