[pptp-server] PPTP VPN

Thanks, that helped me get it working. :)

I'm now having new interesting problems.

Although the VPN works perfectly with the win98 test laptop, I can't get
windows 2000 clients to work. I went through the FAQ on the poptop homepage
to no avail. I checked my logs on the server, and I'm getting LCP config
request timeouts.

/etc/ppp/options:
lock
debug
auth
+chap
proxyarp
defaultroute

w2k settings:
identical to what is shown on the poptop w2k.doc. I've also tried a few
different variations, but all achieve the same result: LCP request timeout.
Any ideas on some fixes to this solution?

Besides a "working" WINS server, MS Networking (browsing) requires 

1) That each MS client (both local LAN/remote PPTP) be configured to use
that WINS server. i.e. Each desktop workstation must register with that WINS
server. To verify that the remote PPTP MS clients are actually configured to
use a WINS server, type "winipcfg" for Win9x and "ipconfig /all" for NT/W2K.

2) That the NetBios WORKGROUP/DOMAIN names match for both local/remote
systems. i.e. The remote PPTP clients at home need to change the
WORKGROUP/DOMAIN to match that of what is configured at work.
