[pptp-server] I'm crazy with pptpd

[Giuseppe Zanetti]

Hello,

I try pptpd between Linux (redhat 6.x with 2.2. kernel and pptpd 0.9.5) and
Windows 98. My configuration is:

 ========= my LAN
   |
Linx BOX ----ISP 1 --- INTERNET ---ISP 2 ---- Win 98

I use two phone lines (Linux is ISDN, Win 98 is POTS) for testing pourposes.
The Win 98 machine is connected via ethernet on the same net as the Linux box.,
but the ethernet board was disabled iusing the control panel (and some reboots
:-(

If I user Linux as client (with pptp-linux-1.0.2) it works !

When the windows machine makes the connection it fails with error 645 and I
have these messages in the log.

Can anyone help me ? I'me desperate.

thank'you,

    Giuseppe
