[pptp-server] pptp 1.0.1 - Win2k

[Kim Armann]

OK, here the net :

net:192.168.85.0/24--pptpd-Server:192.168.85.1/192.168.0.5--pptp-Client:192.168.0.223

pptp-Client wants to connect to 192.168.85.0/24 via pptpd-Server.
I don't want to test it with dial-up, but LAN because of the costs.

on connection pptp-Client and pptpd-Server have a transfernet
10.254.254.0

Windows 98 :
c:\> tracert 192.168.85.2
10.254.254.1
192.168.85.2

Win 2k :
Timeout
Timeout
....
