[pptp-server] Dumb newbie question...

[Nicholas Oddson]

If I want to run PPTPD on my Linux box (which is also my firewall) such
that I can connect from a (windows) machine at work and get into my home
private network (to get files, whatever) - do I need more than one IP
address on my external interface of my Linux box?

i.e.  	I have one external IP address
	I have several internal IP addresses (192.168.1.x)

I keep getting the error "No free connection slots or IPs available - no
more clients can connect!"

This is RH5.2 using pptp 0.9.0 and ppp 2.3.5

Ideas?
