I have a server that I have loaded with e-smth gateway and server which =
uses a modified redhat installation. ( http://www.e-smith.org) Amoung =
the features of this installation is VPN capabilities, using PoPToP ( =
http://poptop.lineo.com) I have to use windows clients to connect to the =
server. I have been able to establish a connection, my login is =
authenticated but the connection disconnects almost immediatley. I also =
have remote access to the server via ssh so I tried forwarding port 1723 =
through the ssh tunnel assuming that our ISP might have port 1723 =
closed, but that yeilded the same result.

Beng new to VPN I don't have anyidea where to go next

Thanks

Charlie
