[pptp-server] strange problem!

[R. de Vroede]

module block-major-3 is ide-probe and therefore has nothing to do with
your problem. You have to look somewhere else. 

*Check your firewall for accepting both port 1723 and protocol 47. 
*Check your configfiles: 
  /etc/ppp/options.pptp
  /etc/pptpd.conf
  /etc/modules.conf
*Have you applied all patches?
  1 kernel patch (mppe)
  2 ppp patches (mppe & chapms-v2)

These pointers and the FAQs should help you to solve it.

Good luck!
Richard
