My problem now is I cannot ping the internal network at 199.29.166.x
And all my routing attempts have failed.

Any help appreciated.

I have a pptp-server running that has no problems with MS vpn clients
connecting, but when my linux pptp attempts to connect I get errors on
client side with no logs on server side.
