I want to connect from my local network over a Router (Debian Woody)
to a PPTP Server (Potato). Win2k as client, the problem is, that only one
Client can connect fom our Lan to the Server. Windows reports a error
619, can't connected to the Port. When i'm waiting ca. 30min then i
can connect fom an another Client (after the first Client
disconnected) (sometimes, nobody can connecting).
My PPTP.conf looks like this:

option /etc/ppp/pptp.options
localip 192.168.50.200-210
remoteip 192.168.50.215-240

and pptp.options:

name *
lock
mtu 1490
mru 1490
noauth
proxyarp
+chap
+chapms-v2
#mppe-40
mppe-128
mppe-stateless
ipcp-accept-local
ipcp-accept-remote
lcp-echo-failure 3
lcp-echo-interval 5
deflate 0

i have pptp version 1.01 and tested 1.1.2

Restart PPTPD doesn't help.

:-(
