Hi:

Forgive my ignorance, but I've read so many
semi-related pages by now that I'm dizzy with
confusion:

I am attempting to connect from my Windows box,
through my EigerStein LRP laptop, to my company's PPTP
VPN.  The LRP is working fine out-of-the-box for
regular traffic -- I am connecting to Yahoo! now --
but when I attempt to run the VPN client software, I
never get authenticated.

There are two ways I could go, according to my
interpretation of the results of my Google searches:
1) I could run the pptp-linux client on the LRP box,
or 2) I could build a new kernel for the LRP box with
IP_MASQ_PPTP configured, and use the windows client.

Question #1: Is the above correct?  Are these my only
options? Can I simply use the stock kernel and load a
new module?
Question #2: Since #1 seems the more straightforward,
I would prefer it.  I can get the linux pptp client
running, but what else do I need to do?  Must I open
ports?  Change the NATing?  Something else?  Please
help if you can.
Question #3: If someone has already built an
out-of-the-box module/kernel pair which supports PPTP
masquerading, could you please point me to it? I would
rather exhaust all these options before building a new
kernel of my own, but I can't find any already-done
versions...

Thank you very much for any help you can provide.

-Mark
