[pptp-server] pptp client, Win2k server - problems!

[Jerry Vonau]

Hi All:

This is my ppp options:

lock
noauth
debug

user USER                              >required for
password PASSWORD          >MS chap and above  (sorry Adam, I was right)

noauth
+chap
+chapms
+chapms-v2
 mppe-40
 mppe-128
 mppe-stateless

start the clint form the command line:
/usr/sbin/pptp SERVERIP lock noauth debug user USERNAME +chapms-v2
mppe-128  mppe-stateless noauth

Replace the UPPERCASE with your info.
