Ok, first off sorry if this is old ground or posted to the wrong list.
I've come across something a bit odd and I'd like someone who actually
knows what he's doing, not me to shed some light on what's going on.
I'm trying to connect a Windows XP Sp2 (yes I know) box to a Win2k
Server using PPTP across two firewalls. i.e.
Logical layout
[Win XP] ---- IP/1723 GRE(47) ----> [Firewall 1] ----- Internet ----
[Firewall 2]------> [Win2k PPTP endpoint]
Subnets:
|---IP 10.190/16 ----| [FW] |--- IP 11.11/16 ---| [FW] |--- IP
12.12/16---|
IP
XP-10.190.70.70
FW1 - 10.190.70.66 & 11.11.0.1
FW2 - 11.11.0.2 & 12.12.0.1
Win2k - 12.12.0.2
Win2k Static NAT'd as 11.11.0.10 on FW2 for GRE and IP/1723
Now for my first test Firewall 1 was a Linux 2.6.10 (ubuntu 5.04) box,
and Firewall 2 was 3.7-current from last month.
Rules on the Linux box are (generealised)
Local LAN -> ANY using IP 1723 / GRE - accept
NAT Local LAN using any ---> WAN Interface
Rules on the OpenBSD box
Any -> Win2k Server using IP 1723 / GRE - accept
NAT Any -> Win2k NAT Address [11.11.0.10] using GRE ------ as ------ Any
-> Win2k Internal Address [12.12.0.2] using GRE
NAT Any -> Win2k NAT address [11.11.0.10] using PPTP ------ as ------
Any -> Win2k Internal Address [12.12.0.2] using PPTP
NAT Win2k -> Any using Ant ---- as ----- Win2k NAT'd address
[11.11.0.10] -> any using any
ok hope that make sense.
In this configuration everything works!
PFLOG on the OBSD box shows PPTP and GRE passing in through NAT and out etc.

no further log entries are generated and the VPN is up and running.
Now if I change FW1 to OBSD 3.7 current, i.e. same as FW2 and create the
equivalent rule base I get the following on FW2 yes 2 not 1
Aug 19 13:10:03.780470 rule 12/(match) pass in on ste0: 11.11.0.1.56938

As you can see the newly OBSD FW1 is allowing the same traffic out as
the Linux box however for some reason FW2 no longer correctly tracks the
state of the GRE service instead seeing it as a new connection and
dropping the packets.
Just to confirm the PF rules on FW2 where not changed, simply changing
FW1 breaks FW2.
Has anyone any clue why this is happening?
Many thanks in advance.
Simon
