Hi,

I am fairly new to PPTP but still don't think I should have this problem. 
I have pptp 1.0, ppp-2.3.10 with the ppp-2.3.10-openssl-0.9.4-mppe.patch 
patch applied.  I run /usr/local/sbin/pptpd --debug.  The kernel is 
rebuilt and has the modules ppp, ppp-mppe, and others loaded.  Whenever I 
attempt a connection from my Win98 box I get immediately disconnected and 
in the Linux syslogs I see:

May 10 21:46:53 bts pptpd[3552]: CTRL: Starting call (launching pppd, 
opening GRE)
May 10 21:46:53 bts pptpd[3552]: CTRL: pty_fd = 4
May 10 21:46:53 bts pptpd[3552]: CTRL: tty_fd = 5
May 10 21:46:53 bts pptpd[3552]: CTRL: I wrote 32 bytes to the client.
May 10 21:46:53 bts pptpd[3552]: CTRL: Sent packet to client
May 10 21:46:53 bts pptpd[3553]: CTRL (PPPD Launcher): Connection speed = 
115200
May 10 21:46:53 bts pptpd[3553]: CTRL (PPPD Launcher): local address = 
192.168.10.134
May 10 21:46:53 bts pptpd[3553]: CTRL (PPPD Launcher): remote address = 
192.168.10.248
May 10 21:46:53 bts pptpd[3552]: GRE: read(fd=4,buffer=804d9c0,len=8196) 
from PTY failed: status = -1 error = Input/output error
May 10 21:46:53 bts pptpd[3552]: CTRL: PTY read or GRE write failed 
(pty,gre)=(4,5)
May 10 21:46:53 bts pptpd[3552]: CTRL: Client 192.168.10.193 control 
connection finished
May 10 21:46:53 bts pptpd[3552]: CTRL: Exiting now
May 10 21:46:53 bts pptpd[3551]: MGR: Reaped child 3552

The message from the Win98 dialogue is that my password is incorrect but I 
don't believe that's the problem.  I've searched the list archives and not 
seen an answer to this which has fixed it for me!  *PLEASE* can anyone 
help me?

My config files are:

/etc/ppp/options:

lock
debug
name bts
auth
##require-chap
proxyarp
ms-dns 192.168.99.30
ms-wins 192.168.10.11
+chap
+chapms
+chapms-v2
mppe-40
mppe-128
mppe-stateless

/etc/pptpd.conf:

speed 115200
localip 192.168.10.134
remoteip 192.168.10.248-249

/etc/ppp/chap-secrets:

# Secrets for authentication using CHAP
# client        server  secret                  IP addresses
me        bts     mysecret                   *

Cheers,

Richard Shepherd
