[lug] pptpd connection from WinNT Problems

I am working on setting up a VPN from Windows computers
(Win9x/WinNT/Win2k) using pptpd.  Everything seems to be setup
correctly, but I cannot connect.  The WinNT system I am using to test
the connection is giving an error "629:  The port was disconnected by
the remote machine.

I am using the following configuration:

----------------------------------------------------------------------
/etc/pptpd.conf:

speed 115200
option /etc/ppp/pptpd-options
debug
localip 192.168.1.101-199
remoteip 192.168.4.101-199


/etc/ppp/pptpd-options

debug
name beltira
auth
require-chap
proxyarp

/etc/ppp/chap-secrets
morrisde beltira foo *

----------------------------------------------------------------------
The log file from pptpd is very unhelpful, but is included at the end
of this message for reference.

On the Windows NT side, I have tried all combinattions of Security
Options (including allowing clear-text authentication, and I have
tried many combinations in the /etc/ppp/pptpd-options file based on
various recommendations.  Nothing works.

Can anyone offer any help on what is going wrong?
