Hi Chris,

I'm back...

I have my test RH 7 server up and running on the local LAN ready to  
test across the VPN.  One issue though:

[root at localhost admin]# tcpdump -i eth0 -s0 -w capture.cap host  
192.168.0.150 and 192.168.2.46
tcpdump: invalid snaplen 0

-s1 seems to work but not sure if this effects the data.
