Question : Ipcop Static Routes

I just installed a ipcop 1.4.21 box in place of another nating firewall box that died. On our old box we had a static route to our vpn subnet / server. I added the static route on the ipcop box and can ping any host from local lan to vpn clients but they can only ping back if ping from inside first. I then added into the iptables forward table the two subnets so that hopefully the firewall would quit blocking the redirects. I can ping anything from anything just fine. High level functions(http, ssh, rdp, etc..) fail. Any help would be appreciated.

Thanks

Answer : Ipcop Static Routes

I got the ipcop box to route correctly.   The firewall was dropping packets labeling them as newnotsyn.  I added in the iptables to allow the packets and not drop them.
