Odd... The following logfile entries (see below) are from my W2K box
connecting to my PoPToP server. I have tested both Win9x and W2K and have
not had the problems you have described. I have not had a chance to try XP
though. 

I am using kernel 2.4.17/iptables with the patches that I referenced
earlier. i.e. My website. http://www.infohiiway.com/download/pptp

BTW: PPTP connections use tcp port 1723 and protocol 47 (gre)
