[pptp-server] PopTop and NT 4.0 (sp5 128bit)

[tmk]

I havent seen any posts concerning 128bit encryption and SP5, but i'm
pretty sure that works.

just to be sure, you mean protocol 47 and not port 47 right?

ipchains -A input -p 47 -d <linux box ip> -j ACCEPT 

is the kind of thing you want to use. As i understood it there was a bit
of documentation around that covered how to allow pptp stuff through a
firewall.

The ACCM msg is character escape sequences used to get around reserved
charsbeing sent over a telnet type connection, but we dont use that so
they can be safely ignored.

Check your ip allocations and ip forwarding
