[pptp-server] problems with linksys etherfast cable/dsl route r

[Tom Ryan]

I upgraded the firmware on the linksys and now everything works fine.
(well almost anyway :)

I'm running pptpd standalone, ie

/usr/local/sbin/pptpd -c /etc/pptpd.conf -o /etc/ppp/pptpoptions

The first connection works perfectly, connections attempted after that
fail, UNLESS I kill/restart pptpd.

Any ideas?

Tom

p.s. this is the same for both 1.0.1 and 1.1.2 of the software.
