[pptp-server] Connect problems...

[robert]

I have a vague memory of smp problems.  However, assuming that is not the 
issue...

The important line in the logs is:

> modprobe: Can't locate module ppp-compress-18

This means a required module isn't loading for some reason.

First, double check modules.conf.  Is there a line in there:

alias ppp-compress-18 ppp_mppe

Did you make a typo?

If that's there, do you actually have the ppp_mppe module?

Do a search for the file ppp_mppe.o.  The file should be found in the path:

/lib/modules/<whatever your kernel name is>/kernel/drivers/net/ppp_mppe.o

If the file is missing, that means the kernel patch and/or compile was not 
sucessful.  Go back through the howto again and see what you missed.
