Im having problems getting PPTP working. My other box has Poptop server running and it works flawlessly with windows. I can connect and do everything. But I cant connect to it via pptp client. I have setup an /etc/ppp/chap-secrets file with the account login/pass that it uses

/etc/ppp/chap-secrets

and whenever I run "pptp myremotecompany.com debug" 

that its what it says in the /var/log/message file

Jul 30 17:53:37 boris (unknown)[131]: log[pptp_dispatch_ctrl_packet:pptp_ctrl.c:

Why does it say refused authenticate? I can use the login/pass on a windows pptp client and they work fine. any ideas?
