LinuxQuestions.org - PPTP and Windows clients ....

I've been trying to setup a PPTP server to use with the Windows VPN client.

I've tested it with Linux clients, and it works fine. On Windows XP, it simply times out with "Error 619: connection to the remote computer could not be established". Firewall and anti-virus is disabled on both client and server.

Any idea about how to fix this :?: I've tried this on two different Windows XP clients, and they both give the same error. So it must be a configuration problem on the server side. Here is the server log:
