As the pptp package is the client only one, this is the one you'll need to use - the freebsddiary post is a bit confusing because it defines the pptp configuration file as ppp.conf - however, whatever the file is called it needs to be called using the pptp program.
ach - looks like I misread your output - you did call pptp which called pppd and had some errors. This could be a few factors - 1: pptp is compiled from pkgsrc - which might mean it is expecting a netbsd pppd underneath instead of the freebsd->dragonfly one we have (need to check freebsd4/freebsd-now/netbsd pppd manual pages / code) 2: pppd has drifted w/r/t pptp or the other way around and pkgsrc needs updating, (need to check pptp manual pages / code ) 3: ... To get this moving in the right direction, you might want to try setting up a spare freebsd box with ports or a netbsd box with pkgsrc, get the pptp link working, and try to figgure out the possible pppd and pptp differences on dragonfly that are keeping this from working - aka, you might need to port/update pppd or pptp, or pkgsrc, or 1/2/both/all, etc to the current state of affairs on DragonFly This is why I keep sources for all BSD's handy for troubleshooting purposes :D Alternately you might just want to try SSH port forwarding if you can SSH to the remote end :D if anyone has a working PPTP setup this would be an excellent time to chime in :D cheers again and good luck. - Chris
