[pptp-server] GRE: read error: Protocol not available

[Murali K. Vemuri]

hey george!
i went through this mail (yours) a bit more carefully
and i observed that this is the same kinda problem i got.
why don't you try to uninstall all the damn adapters on win client
then you should add them only from add remove programs (in control
panel) in win
you should not do the same from network in control panel.
and by the way, is your mppe working?
