[pptp-server] pptp still not working

[S.Ecker]

Ok, I spent this weekend locked in a room trying to
get this to work.  I have two systems set up.  One
works and the other doesn't.  The one which works is a
win98 box and a linux box on the same subnet with no
routers in between.  I can connect like a champ, no
errors.  As soon as I put a router between them (even
with all tcp & udp ports open) I get the following
error in /var/log/messages:

Jun 19 10:15:55 mail pptpd[1839]: CTRL: Client

Jun 19 10:16:26 mail pptpd[1839]: CTRL: Client

Is there a problem routing between different networks
with this setup or am I missing some crucial piece of
information here?  I've posted to my setup this
weekend so you can refer to that post at
