[pptp-server] EMERGENCY!! Clients can't get in!!

[Terrelle Shaw]

Right off the bat i can think of routing issues.. but that shouldn't stop them
from logging in ( unless they are going outside of the poptop server to
authenticate).
All in all, how did you upgrade to the new kernel? did you reapply the kernel
patches for ip_masq_vpn?

I'll try it, but I don't think so.  The remote network is using the *ugly*
Windows Internet Sharing server.  They have to be on the 192.168.1.x network in
order to work.  I don't know if it will route to 192.168.10.x at the Windows
side.  Does anyone else?

Besides, why would I have a problem with the *local* ip address if the *remote*
ip address is on the wrong subnet?

P.S.  I'm not trying to be difficult.  I'm just trying to understand the logic!
