I'm working on setting up VPN with poptop on my server.  I ran through the
howto on the website.  Then when I try having win2k connect to the server.
I ran through the tutorial located at
http://poptop.lineo.com/releases/win2k.doc.gz to try to have it connect.
(top to bottom of course) It connects, and tries verifying password.  Thats
where it sits then drops connection.

I checked my logfile and heres what it spits out for the session

Anyone have any ideas out there or need any more info?

If you can message me via icq (4073990) or AIM (trahma81) and help me
directly I think it'd be easier, but I'll understand if you'd prefer to
reply to email.  Thanks in advance for any help..
