Actually, it *CAN* be a range.  However, this just wastes IP addresses.  Only 
one is NEEDED.  Also, the internal IP and localip should not be the same 
address, but should be in the same subnet unless you want to do fancy routing 
tricks.  In any case, the original problem looks like a missing variable in 
the pptpd.conf file.  localip is not set.
