[pptp-server] errors - little help...

[Jacopo Silva]

I configured my pptpd server on a Linux Box that has a public IP
address.

When I try to get access from the Win9x clients from the internet
I always get some connection error.
I enclude the log from syslogd .
Is there anyone who can help me?
Thanks,
Jacopo
