I have been trying to get poptop going for almost a week now, and I am going
crazy over this.

Attempting to connect w/MS Win2k pro

My System:
RH 7.2
ppp-2.4.1-2
Linux 2.4.9-21 #1 Thu Jan 17 14:16:30 EST 2002 i686 unknown
pptpd-1.0.0-5 (from rpm's)

Conf files:
 /etc/pptpd.conf
	speed 115200
	localip 10.0.0.25-29
	remoteip 192.168.1.235-239
 /etc/ppp/options
	lock
	debug
	name servername
	auth
	require-chap
	proxyarp

IPTABLES Output
Chain INPUT (policy ACCEPT)
target     prot opt source               destination

Chain FORWARD (policy ACCEPT)
target     prot opt source               destination
ACCEPT     all  --  anywhere             anywhere

Chain OUTPUT (policy ACCEPT)
target     prot opt source               destination

I think thats everything related so far, here is the log output:

It appears that I have authenticated (although I dont like the fact that I
have to turn off encryption), and from what I have gathered from the
mail-list archives, its trying to assign an ip address.  However I have also
had tons of the GRE errors with different configurations.  This is starting
to drive me nuts.  Does anyone have a solution?
