I set up an pptp-server under linux (suse 6.4) and a windows 2000 client, as
described in the pptp howto. I am using an ethernet-lan connection for the
tunnel. Whenever I try to connect with the windows 2000 client, I get the
following log-entries in the pptp.log. I hope someone can help me with this
problem cause I have no clue whats wrong.
