Hi all,

I am trying to get pptp-server running for several days now and i did
this EXACTLY as described in the HowTo.
everthing works fine ... i patched ppp .. copied th rc-files .. compiled
the kernel and the modules .. loaded the modules .. compiled pptp .. an
started it.
When i try to connect from a win-machine now, i always get an
error-message, that the kernel does not support ppp or the module is not
loaded.
As in Kernel 2.3.x the ppp - module names ppp_generic, i just copied the
module to ppp.o, so that i should be found ..
But actually i loaded the module by hand.
I did the procedure several times now ... i even tried ppp 2.3.10 (with
the ricght patch and openssl instead of SSLeay) .. i tried pptp 1.1.
and reinstalled the machine 4 times (due to possible file-conflicts
because of the several installs)

Could it be, that pptp does not work with kernel 2.3.x ??
Or what else can i try ... ?
