[pptp-server] linux client to office network?

[Paul Schuur]

Hi ville,

theoretically, if the VPN server is an NT box, there are two option

-if your account is a local account, the domain name (=server name in this case) is optional. Just leave it blank for local accounts
-if your account is a domain account, you need to specify the domain name, which, of course, you know.

good luck!
