[pptp-server] GRE Failures

[Kenneth E. Lussier]

All,
	I set up poptop on a server, but I can't connect to it using the Linux pptp
client ( I haven't had a chance to try a WinXX client yet). There is no
firewall between machines, and no ipchains rules on the poptop server. 
TIA,
Kenny

Here is all of the info I can think of:
