[pptp-server] PPTP Blues...

OK, here's the gig. I have a home and office network, I want to connect them
together, via the Internet and DSL. 

PPTP is the correct tool, yes? 

I have configured the office network (I think) as mentioned in the short howto,
and when I try to start pptpd at the shell prompt, I get the following: 

[root at server /etc]# pptpd &
[1] 874
[root at server /etc]# createHostSocket: Address already in use

[1]+  Done                    pptpd  

Any ideas? 

I'm sure is some simple little setting. I've already tried using both real and
virtual IP addresses for the server (localip) in /etc/pptpd.conf. 

Thanks for your time,
