Actually, if you have any people using the Linux client, you don't want to
tell them the local IP is the same as the IP they might use to connect to the
Linux box running pptpd.  It makes the routing table impossible.

So I suggest using an unused address for localip too, eg,

pptpd box: 192.168.1.1
unused: 192.168.1.100-254

configuration -

localip 192.168.1.100
remoteip 192.168.1.101-254
