[pptp-server] LCP: timeout sending Config-Requests

[Jim Sayer]

I am trying to use pptp to tunnel into where I work. I am running
Linux version 2.2.14-5.0smp 
pppd 2.4.0
pptp-linux-1.0.3-1
ppp-mppe-2.4.0-4
An lsmod shows all the modules get loaded.

Basically, pptp reports back ERROR!  Connection timed out.
The /var/log/messages is shown below, detailing an LCP: timeout sending
Config-Requests. It looks like I connect and then disconnect right away.

The pap and chap secret files have the same info and the options file
all look ok.

The processes that are kicked off when I run the pptp script are list
below.

I use cable modem, not a dial-up modem. Does pptp work with cable modem
and does anything special have to be set up? Any suggestions or try-me's
would be greatly appreciated.

Thanks,
Jim
