well, it didn't work right off the bat.... when i first tried to
connect i got:
Error 619: The specified port is not connected.
and in my logs it read:
Jan 8 15:15:58 hostname pptpd[2389]: CTRL: Client ip.add.res.sss
control connection started
Jan 8 15:15:58 hostname pptpd[2389]: CTRL: Starting call (launching
pppd, opening GRE)
Jan 8 15:15:58 hostname pptpd[2389]: GRE:

Input/output error
Jan 8 15:15:58 hostname pptpd[2389]: CTRL: PTY read or GRE write
failed (pty,gre)=(5,6)
Jan 8 15:15:58 hostname pptpd[2389]: CTRL: Client ip.add.res.sss
control connection finished
so I ran pppd against my pptpd options:
]# /usr/sbin/pppd file /etc/ppp/options.pptpd
/usr/sbin/pppd: The remote system is required to authenticate itself
/usr/sbin/pppd: but I couldn't find any suitable secret (password) for
it to use to do so.
and then had to populate the /etc/ppp/chap-secrets file. which is
easy, or you can use the script from poptop.org.
so, now, I can connect and browse around by IP, but it disconnects
after about a minute or so. here's the logs:
Jan 8 15:44:22 hostname pppd[2522]: CHAP peer authentication succeeded
for ryan
Jan 8 15:44:22 hostname pppd[2522]: MPPE 128-bit stateless compression

Jan 8 15:45:25 hostname pppd[2522]: Exit.
Jan 8 15:45:25 hostname pptpd[2521]: GRE:

the options.pptpd file looks fine, and pppd manually runs against it
fine, so I'm not sure why it's saying MPPE disabled. You think that
this might be a client thing? I set up the client per the win2k
instructions on the poptop website.
