Kernel 2.2.18 and Mandrake 7.2

[Bert]

Hi folks,

I have setup a small firewall at home to share my internet connection. I am using PMFirewall and find that is a great way to get up to speed quickly. However, I am unable to masquerade PPTP even though I have employed the correct rules. I understand that this is because the kernel must be patched to handle GRE and ESP.

I have also picked up the info that kernel 2.2.18 already has the patch in it. Is this true and is it a better solution that patching the Mandrake 2.2.17 (?? Drake 7.2) kernel? Otherwise where can I get the appropriate patch for my Drake 7.2 kernel.

Thanks to all,
Bert
