Hello folx!

Having a problem connecting with the linux pptp client.

MY setup..
                                                Internet
Linux box  --> linux firewall  <--------------------> Linux
firewall/poptop -->Internal net

Using win95/98/NT i can connect to my poptop server and into the internal
network with no problems. Now i'm trying to get the linux client to work.
Looking in the logs of the poptop server.. this is the error i'm getting..

Has anyone seen this before? It's clear that the linux client is getting to
the server.. but i don't know what's breaking..

Thanks for any help..
