[pptp-server] Setting up PPTP - try #2

Fri Jul 9 09:00:31 CDT 1999

I accidentally sent my message before it was complete.  The message follows:

I am trying to set up the pptp server.  This is my first time to do it and I
am getting stuck (I am a relative Linux newbie).  I have installed it and am
running it on a Red Hat 6.0 system using ppp 2.3.7 and pptp 0.9.4.  I can
connect from a win95 or win98 clients, but once I connect I can see nothing
in the Network Neighborhood. (Perhaps I am misunderstanding what this is
supposed to do?  How can I tell if it is working?)

My /etc/ppp/options file is as follows:

lock
debug
name gateway
auth
require-chap
proxyarp

My /etc/pptpd.conf is as follows:
speed 115200
localip 206.96.206.143
remoteip 192.168.0.245-254

The log file from my last connection reads as follows:

I am trying to set this up to allow someone to access an internal database
across the Internet.  The client will be win98.  I get the same results with
either a win95 or win98 client.  Also, my win95 setup is set to no
compression, no encryption, only TCP/IP.

Any help would be appreciated!

Sincerely,
