I'm working on setting up PopTop on a RedHat Linux 6.1 machine, with a Win98
client.
My question is this:
I'm close to having this working, except that the remote address is being
set to 192.168.1.1, which isn't correct. This is some output from
/var/log/pptp.log:

-----------snip-------------

This is my /etc/ppp/options file:
lock
debug

auth
+chap
proxyarp
+chapms
+chapms-v2
mppe-40
mppe-128
mppe-stateless
ms-wins 192.160.9.21

And my /etc/pptp.conf:
speed   115200
option /etc/ppp/options
debug
localip 216.15.43.84,192.160.9.21
remote-ip 192.160.9.99

Any and all help will be greatly appreciated.
