[pptp-server] Linux client to PPTP server (kernel > 2.4.10) success

[poptop at kaiserdigital.com]

Hi

I've been trying to install PPTPD on Redhat 7.1 but I've been having
some problems.

You mentioned an MPPE patch. How did you apply this? What was the
command you executed? 

Thank you

Hi,

I'm not on this list but thought to post my solution to the problems
with Linux clients getting error about GRE not being available when
server kernel is over version 2.4.10.

My client and server are both 2.4.16 with MPPE patches. I also got the
GRE: protocol not available error.

But if I load the ip_gre module on the client before connecting,
everything goes fine. So before starting pptp client, do modprobe ip_gre

This worked for me, YMMV.
