pptpd - problems to open new connections


Hi. I am using FC4 and want to setup a simple vpn server for one or two windows XP clients. Well I have installed ppp-2.4.3 and pptpd-1.3.0.

I can startup my server sucessfully, however when it comes a windows client to connect it crashes with error:800

You can see my logs:
Mar 14 21:46:32 sisivil pptpd[24129]: MGR: Manager process started
Mar 14 21:46:32 sisivil pptpd[24129]: MGR: Maximum of 1 connections available

Mar 14 21:47:30 sisivil pptpd[25905]: MGR: No free connection slots or IPs - no more clients can connect!
Mar 14 21:47:31 sisivil pptpd[26803]: CTRL: Client 213.240.228.66 control connection started
Mar 14 21:47:31 sisivil pptpd[26803]: CTRL: Starting call (launching pppd, opening GRE)
Mar 14 21:47:31 sisivil pptpd[26805]: MGR: Manager process started
Mar 14 21:47:31 sisivil pptpd[26805]: MGR: Maximum of 1 connections available
Mar 14 21:47:31 sisivil pptpd[26803]: GRE: read(fd=6,buffer=804e560,len=8196) from PTY failed: status = -1 error = Input/output error, usually caused by unexpected termination of pppd, check option syntax and pppd logs
Mar 14 21:47:31 sisivil pptpd[26803]: CTRL: PTY read or GRE write failed (pty,gre)=(6,7)
Mar 14 21:47:31 sisivil pptpd[26805]: MGR: Couldn't create host socket
Mar 14 21:47:31 sisivil pptpd[26803]: CTRL: Client 213.240.228.66 control connection finished
Mar 14 21:47:31 sisivil pptpd[26805]: createHostSocket: Address already in use
Mar 14 21:47:31 sisivil kernel: ip_conntrack_pptp: error during exp_gre

I have this in my /etc/pptpd.conf
localip 200.200.228.66
remoteip 192.168.8.8

200.200.228.66 is the IP that windows is trying to connect to.

Is it a king of ethernet problem, problem of iptables and ip_conntrack_pptp or someting else. I read the whole network and all the info I found about "Couldn't create host socket" and "Address already in use" is that some other program is using this port (1723) or that there's a dublication of addresses. I checked all of this and I think it's not the problem of used port.

Please give me some ideas the problem could be?
