[pptp-server] Interesting errors

[George Vieira]

Strip the non TCP/IP network protocols in your windows PPTP client..
(netBEUI and IPX etc).. also your most likely not using IP address on your
PPTP link that are on the same IP range as the local LAN which is why your
getting complaints about not finding a local IP for proxy arp

I get the following messages from my logs whenever a connection is made.
 
I'm running mandrake 7.1 on a Athlon 550 system
all connections are successful without any connection issues but these
messages in my logs concern me, does anyone know what is the cause of them
and
how to prevent them from occurring again.
 
Note the xx.xx.xx.xx is to hide the guilty : )
 
Thanks in Advance
