[pptp-server] IPs

[Marshall, Joshua]

Can someone please explain to me what the local and remote IPs are for.
Should I be able to ping both if someone logs in?  If not why did someone
suggect the non-masq route to that subnet, because you would only be working
with the local subnet.
 
The local IP is the IP allocated to the server side of the PPTP connection,
the remote IP is the IP address allocated to the client upon connection.
 
You should be able to ping the remote IP from the server and the local IP
from the client.
