hi there,
i met some difficulties while building my own vpn server.
i do these steps:
apt-get install pptpd
modify /etc/pptpd.conf and added these lines in the end of the file:
localip 192.168.0.1
remoteip 192.168.1.2-200
modify /etc/ppp/chap-secert anded these lines in the end of the file:
username * password *

then i restart the pptpd.
/etc/init.d/pptpd restart

but when i want to use my windows client to connect to it,my windows told me cannot connect to vpn server.
what shall i do?
thx
