[pptp-server] Pinging AIX Servers

Still having problems with pinging AIX Servers.

Setup: RH6.2 running PoPToP, Win98\Win2000 PPTP Clients

When I ping Any Windows or Linux box from my PPTP Clients I get replies no
problems works great. When I ping an AIX Server I get Timed out. When I run
a traceroute i get from the client to the IP address of the PPTP Interface
on the PoPToP server and then thats it!! If I go onto and AIX box and
attempt to ping a PPTP client I get to the IP Address of the Ethernet card
of the PoPToP server and no futher, again all Windows and Linux Boxes can
ping the PPTP client no problem. Why the inconsistant behaviour??

I have tried adding a route on the AIX boxes specifically for a PPTP client
IP Address but it still stops at the IP Address of the Ethernet card of the
PoPToP server.

Am I doing something wrong or is this just a bug??

Hope somebody can help me out
