[pptp-server] New PoPToP - GRE: PTY Read failed.

[Eric H. Raskin]

Pat:

 I've gotten *much* farther along.  I switched to using pptpd (instead of
pptpctrl in inetd.conf).  I now get pppd connecting successfully.  Then, the
following shows up in my ppp.log file:

Feb 19 08:03:17 pluto pppd[11932]: rcvd [IPCP ConfAck id=0x1 <addr 0.0.0.0>
<compress VJ 0f 01>]

Feb 19 08:03:17 pluto pppd[11932]: Timeout 0x805074c:0x80787c0 in 3 seconds.
Feb 19 08:03:20 pluto pppd[11932]: sent [IPCP TermReq id=0x3 "Could not
determine local IP address"]
Feb 19 08:03:20 pluto pppd[11932]: Timeout 0x805074c:0x80787c0 in 3 seconds.

Here's my pptpd.conf file:

speed 115200
localip 192.168.0.234-238,192.168.0.245
remoteip 192.168.1.234-238,192.168.1.245

That's it.

Here's the command line I used to start pptpd:

# /usr/sbin/pptpd -f -o /etc/ppp/options.pptp -d -s 115200

What am I missing now?

TIA
