type that command on the SME server?
Yes iether sit behind it or login using remote access, SSH for instance, as root. Issue the command and see what it displays to you.

Are there no other firewalls between the remote host and the local box other than the SME Server?

What does the following command output when you execute it on your server:
Code: [Select]
config show masq


it says command not found. i entered it exactly... checked and re-checked and i entered it right.

Correct. no other firewalls besides the SME.

The win2k machine is pluged directly into the same switch as the mail server. and i got portforwarding for the mail server to work (people can log into their mail account from outside the network).

Opps... my mistake.

I failed to realize that your using sme 6.

Maybe

Code: [Select]
[root@vmsme6 root]# /sbin/e-smith/db configuration show masq
masq=service
    Logging=most
    Stealth=no
    pptp=yes
    status=disabled
[root@vmsme6 root]#
will work.

When you change things via server-manager a whole heap of templates get expanded and services restarted. Maybe thats why it is now working.

Do you know that SME6 is now obsolete and there will be no more support for it?
