 Hi Max,
 
 Just read your discussion with Matt and Rembrandt on DragonflyBSD list
 on OpenBSD's PF issues.
 
 Although I can't afford to restore the configuration to test the
 issue, but I feel, that problem could be connected to IPv6 +
 PPTP/GRE/PF/IPv4.
 The machine we've tried to connect from was running Vista. AFAIR, it
 tries to make some use of IPv6. Can't tell anything on XP or other
 clients - never tried that.
 OTOH, outgoing PPTP (IPv4) session from MPD4 to some HW VPN router
 (sorry, anonymous to me) was just fine.
 
 Hope this helps.
 
 I can't upgrade ATM, but still can supply config files if needed.
