[pptp-server] Assigning netmasks int pptpd.conf file

Hi all.

I've just installed PopToP 1.0 on a RH 6.2 Ultra on a SPARC5 that I will
be using for a FW and VPN server. My inside IP (behind the FW) address
range is 10.10.20.0/24 and my outside (on the Internet) IP netmask uses
255.255.255.240 as a netmask. All appears to work fine. The install of
PoPTop was very easy and worked the 1st time. I connected and
authenticated just fine from my Windoze 98 VPN client. The only problem
is that when I ipconfig the Windoze box to see if the client was
assigned properly, I find the IP is assigned as I have configured it in
the pptpd.conf file but the netmask is a very classfull 255.0.0.0. This
is causing mucho problems. I tried to set the remoteip to
10.10.20.230-239/24 in the pptpd.conf file with no luck (pppd would not
start) and I even tried 10.10.20.230-239 255.255.255.0 with no luck.
Does anybody know how to assign netmasks to IP's in the pptpd.conf file.
Can it be done???

Thanks in advance

Brian
