[pptp-server] the client gets different ip addresses

[Murali K. Vemuri]

hi all,

i have a PPTP server running in my machine.
attached is the pptpd.conf file.
when i was testing with a windows 95 client, i got this annoying
problem.
for the local ip end of the pptp server, it gets the ip address from the
range as in the pptpd.conf .
but, for the remote end of the link, it takes only the ip address
mentioned in the pap-secrets file in the
/etc/ppp/ directory. i could not understand why it is taking so .
also, i wish to know if it is a feature of the pptp-server itself to
take the remote ip address from the pap-secrets file( infact, in that
case, there is no need to really mention that item in the configuration
file of the pptp :-)         )

regards,
murali krishna vemuri
