[pptp-server] Again connection Problems to my PPTP Server

[Roland H]

Hi all,

for (now) two weeks I try to set my server to allow incoming vpn connection,
but what have I realised? nearly nothing! Anyway, at first thanx for your
great help here in the mailinglist!
Perhaps you can help me again!
Please take a look at my settings and my log!
Dec 16 17:06:30 Server pppd[963]: remote IP address 192.168.1.234
Dec 16 17:07:06 Server pptpd[962]: CTRL: Received PPTP Control Message
(type: 12)
It took 36 seconds until that message came! What does that mean?
Dec 16 17:07:06 Server pptpd[962]: GRE: read error: Bad file descriptor
Dec 16 17:07:06 Server pptpd[962]: CTRL: PTY read or GRE write failed
(pty,gre)=(-1,-1)
And whats that?
I searched the hole web, but I could find nothing!

IMPORTANT: when I cut my dsl line (with /etc/rc.d/adsl stop) it works, but
not over the internet ;-)!

Any help would be very nice!

bye
Roland
