Thanks all for the help on this - I now have my Windows machine able to
connect to my internal RedHat box. I haven't yet installed the new kernel
and modules to my LRP (ES2B) box, since I don't want to risk screwing
everything up when I'm not in the office (I'm using SSH currently..)
Checking the logs on the RedHat box reveal that the connection is dying due
to a reason (from the PoPToP faq) that is fixed by applying the
'ip_masq_vpn.patch' to my kernel. Now, I know I'm getting off topic here,
but which kernel? The internal RedHat box, or my LRP box? Or both? Or will
it be fixed by installing the new kernel on my LRP box plus the relevant
ip_masq_pptpd.o module?
TIA
John
