I'm trying to setup pptp to connect to my employers corporate vpn.  I'm fairly close.  I know the connection works through the iptables firewall, as windows running under vmware mac bridging works.  Here's where I'm at on the unix side.  The client system is NetBSD-1.5.2 i386.

pluto:/etc/ppp$ cat /etc/ppp/options
debug
lcp-echo-interval 10
lcp-echo-failure 6
noipdefault

I've tried this with and without the noipdefault and lcp options...

pluto:/etc/ppp$ cat /etc/ppp/chap-secrets
# client        server                  secret                  IP addresses
username          vpn1.company.com        secretpassword

I'm fairly certain that the chap-secrets is correct...

my command line pptp stuff...

pptp vpn1.company.com debug mtu 576 mru 576 noauth name username remotename vpn1.company.com

I've tried this with and without the mtu/mrt and noauth options

And finally the pptp and ppp debugs...

Sometimes I even get a local / remote IP address in the debugs.  Any ideas where I'm off?  I've read every piece of pptp client documentation.  Any help is appreciated.
