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
