[pptp-server] subnet gateway problem

[robert]

Sometimes it is just a minor mistake, but almost impossible to find.  You 
might consider scrapping your current setup (although keep backup copies of 
you config files) and starting over.  Follow one of the howtos.  Once you 
have it working, then begin to use your previously backuped config files to 
see where the mistake was.

If you find it, let the list know.  It's just a matter of time before someone 
else makes the same mistake.
