I am connecting my Linux Mandrake 7.1 server (2.2.17 kernel) to a
Windoze NT PPTP Server.  My PPTP connection works fine from Windoze 98
SE (sigh!), however, I get repeatable failures from my Linux
Connection.

Here's one type of failure:

warn[decaps_gre:pptp_gre.c:239]: discarding out-of-order
warn[decaps_gre:pptp_gre.c:239]: discarding out-of-order
warn[decaps_gre:pptp_gre.c:239]: discarding out-of-order
warn[decaps_gre:pptp_gre.c:239]: discarding out-of-order
warn[decaps_gre:pptp_gre.c:239]: discarding out-of-order
warn[decaps_gre:pptp_gre.c:239]: discarding out-of-order
(unknown)[1054]: log[pptp_dispatch_ctrl_packet:pptp_ctrl.c:671]: Call
closed
(NTFY) (call id 0) (unknown)[1054]:
log[pptp_conn_close:pptp_ctrl.c:275]: Closing PPTP connection

The other type of failure is this:

[root@mail /root]# (unknown)[1542]:
log[pptp_dispatch_ctrl_packet:pptp_ctrl.c:671]: Call closed (NTFY)
(call id 0) (unknown)[1542]: log[pptp_conn_close:pptp_ctrl.c:275]:
Closing PPTP connection 

As I said, the initial connection is fine.  it appears to give the top
command a problem overnight, especially with TOP running from the
remote end.

If we can figure this out, then I'll ask my question regarding why X
windows won't display back through the tunnel itself.  (Yes, I have
already checked the DISPLAY Variable).

I am wondering if Mandrakesoft applied all of the Masq Patches,
because when I attempt it, only one fragment appears to be able to
locate any code for the patch to be applied.

Here are my ipchains settings:

[root@mail /root]# ipchains -L
Chain input (policy ACCEPT):
target     prot opt     source                destination
ports
DENY       all  ------  anywhere             10.0.0.0/8            n/a

Chain forward (policy DENY):

MASQ       all  ------  anywhere             anywhere              n/a
Chain output (policy ACCEPT):

I am using the following RPMs:

pptp-client-1.0.2-4mdk
ppp-2.4.0-3mdk 



Thanks in advance for your help!
