[pptp-server] Timeout waiting for host reply to ConfReq...

[Adam Powers]

I'm running a Redhat 6.0 box with pppd 2.3.8 and PoPToP 1.0.0. I'm getting the following log output when any host trys to establish a connection...

Does anyone know what a type:12 PPTP control message is or if I should be concerned with the "Error with select(), quitting" line. The host, a WIN98 machine, gets "ERROR:645 Microshaft dialup adapter in use..." 

Any ideas? I think the problem is in the pppd config. I have tried both compiling the source and RPM's. Same output...

Great big ol TIA!
