On the cheaper SOHO NAT routers, like the Linksys BEFSR4 and Netopia
Cayman 3546, there is a thing called PPTP Passthru or equivalent.
It's purpose it to allow Protocol 47 (GRE) packets to pass thru the
router so the PPTP VPN will work. You also have to forward port 1723
to a specific machine on the LAN where your VPN connection will be
established.
My question to you remote networking geniuses is:
How does the router know that what the specific VPN machine is for
purposes of PPTP Passthru? Or does the router just pass all GRE
packets to all LAN machines and let the one which has the VPN
capability sort it out?

You know you are in Hell when you have to make a
distinction between what is moral and what is legal.
