Hey peeps,
 
Rebuilding my firewall and reinstalling all the patches etc for Kernel
2.4.16 and pppd 2.4.1 but I got errors when connecting about a protocol not
avialable.. I assume it's GRE as below.
 
Which options could this be in the kernel? Should it be a module or built
into the kernel? It's been a while since I've built kernels and done
anything with pptp.....argh!
