[pptp-server] Win98 and SuSE Linux PPTPD server problems

[tmk]

probably pppd died. that is the most common cause of the GRE read failed. try reinstalling vpn (control panels->add remove->windows setup) and also check your pppd settings.

  Hi everyone.  I just can't seem to get this to work no matter what I do...  Below is everything that gets logged when I try to connect from my Win98 machine.

  I'm not sure how to fix it or what to do first.  If someone could help that'd be great. Thanks.
