Just a quickie to say, I went though my setup again, and found that I had 2 typos, and one change that needed to be corrected.
The first was in the – /etc/hostconfig file.
I had a space between the quotes in the line – VPN_ARGS=””
After removing this spac eit worked much better.
The next change was in – /etc/ppp/pptp_service
I had a semi-colon instead of a colon, after my own IP address.
The final one was instead of naming the Password file chap-secrets, i had used an underscore instead of the hypen.
I dont know if this will help anyone, but it would pay to have a close look at your typing. It now works perfectly except that I have to run the VPN Server on a different subnet and bridge it to the network, because of a Allied Telesyn Router that we use for a VPN to other branches.
