[pptp-server] Netmask woes... ifconfig

[Dread Boy]

OK, I have no idea what "arp" is.  Even though I've specified it in 
/etc/ppp/options with the "proxyarp" line.

ifconfig reports that when a machines is remotely connected "UP POINTOPOINT 
RUNNING NOARP MULTICAST".  Should the "NOARP" part concern me?  Can anyone 
tell me what the hell it means?

Also, on the Win client side after connecting to the pptpd server, "bytes 
sent" always increase over time, however "bytes received" always indicates 
around 300 bytes depending on what my username/password was, connection 
options, etc.  I keep refreshing the "Network Neighborhood" to no avail.
