[pptp-server] Cannot connect to pptpd server

[Trygve Lorentzen]

I get this error when I try to connect to my RedHat 7.2 (ClarkConnect 
distro) from a Win2000 box. I am 99% sure I have set up the windows client 
connection parameters correctly following the guide at 
http://poptop.lineo.com/help.html

I also believe that things are setup correctly on the server and the 
firewall has been configured to allow pptpd port and protocol 47
