That's most likely because the client is behind a firewall/NAT router, and the firewall/router either won't accept GRE, or (more likely) will only accept GRE after seeing an outbound packet from the client to the server. Try 'passive' in the config on the server. -- Charlie ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ Special Offer -- Download ArcSight Logger for FREE!
