[pptp-server] Problems

[Phil Curtis]

Dear All,

I am having big problems with getting MS VPN to work. I am running SuSE 7.0.
(2.2.16).
By default the kernal is not configured for ip tunneling or gre so I have
recompiled the kernel.

I have installed ToPPoP and set the configuration files as laid out in the
many readme documents, but it still won't work.

I am trying to connect my w2k laptop to my linux server with a direct cable
connection. I do not have a firewall installed or configured. I also do not
connect through a firewall, but the errors that I get (according to the
documentation) indicate a firewall problem.

HELP ME PLEASE

Thanks Phil.
