Hi,

I am trying to establish a pptp connection between my
linux station and a Win-NT server,

The Windows NT server is SP-6 , and works fine with
another Windows systems client,

What I have :
    RedHat 7.0 (2.2.16)
    PPTP-linux v1.0.2
    PPP v2.3.11


I have 2 problems :

 - When I start the client processus, the connection
is being made during 1 minute only !
        In fact, ifconfig shows the link to be up, and
after a little time, the connection down!
        In the log file, I can see a good established
connection, then a succed authentification, then a
started script, and             after a while the
connection down at this stage!

 - the IP address of the server (NT) is correct, but
not that on the client WAN adapter! 
        The system takes the IP address of the adpater
on the network and not the IP address of the VPN.
        Where I must specify and force the IP address
of the client (which file?)?


This seems similar to problems others have been
reporting to this mailing list, but I never saw any
resolution.
Has anyone gotten this to work?  

Samuel
