I can connect using pptp though.

So in my case, where the ip address is 192.168.100.151, I'd use
192.168.100.0/24 for the CIDR? I'm also a little confused about the
gateway. Would that be the address of my router, the vpn server's
external address, or the internal address of the router on the remote
network?

/var/log/ppp-connect-errors exists, but it's empty.

It reads:
1. Start -> Control Panel -> Open Network Connections -> Create a new
connection
2. Connect to the network at my workplace -> Virtual Private Network
...

There doesn't seem to be anything really useful.
Thanks for your help,
