[pptp-server] Everything looks right, but I can't connect (NT client)

[Thor Johnson]

It starts, and listens.  When I dial in, it connects, but doesn't
authenticate (nothing special about the logs... see below).

Linux Mandrake 5.2, krnl 2.2.10 +FreeS/Wan patches (unix to unix
connectivity), masq:ipchains
eth0: NePCI, Public network
eth1: Tulip, Private network [192.0.3.x]

Network Cards & PPP in kernel (not modules).


What did I miss?


TIA,
Thor Johnson

# TAG: speed
#
#       Specifies the speed for the PPP daemon to talk at.
#
#speed 115200

# TAG: option
#
#       Specifies the location of the PPP options file.
#       By default PPP looks in '/etc/ppp/options'
#
#option /this/is/the/options/file

# TAG: debug
#
#       Turns on (more) debugging to syslog
#
#debug

# TAG: localip
# TAG: remoteip
#
#       Specifies the local and remote IP address ranges.
#
#       You can specify single IP addresses seperated by commas or you can
#       specify ranges, or both. For example:
#
#               192.168.0.234,192.168.0.245-249,192.168.0.254
#
#       IMPORTANT RESTRICTIONS:
#
#       1. No spaces are permitted between commas or within addresses.
#
#       2. If you give more IP addresses than MAX_CONNECTIONS, it will
#          start at the beginning of the list and go until it gets
#          MAX_CONNECTIONS IPs. Others will be ignored.
#
#       3. No shortcuts in ranges! ie. 234-8 does not mean 234 to 238,
#          you must type 234-238 if you mean this.
#
#       4. If you give a single localIP, that's ok - all local IPs will
#          be set to the given one. You MUST still give at least one remote
#          IP for each simultaneous client.
#
localip 192.0.3.234-238
remoteip 192.168.1.234-238
