Hi Emmanuel, I'm now connected, it really was a routing problem as per your yesterday suggestion, plus some errors in the option file. Now I can connect with: pptp 10.0.0.138 route del default gw `route -n|awk '$1=="0.0.0.0" {print $2}'|head -1` route add default gw `ifconfig ppp0|grep "P-t-P"|awk '{print $3}'|cut -d ':' -f 2`
And disconnect (if I need) with: killall pppd ; killall pptp ; rm -rf /var/run/pptp/ I've found some hint in a french article on the web and, considering I don't speak French, I still need to figure out the particulars. Anyway it works and at least I can avoid to shutdown RH than start Win (when it starts) to connect, and then reverse to try something on RH... As for your last message: 1) it's a patch to add MPPE (Microsoft Point-To-Point Encryption protocol) support to Linux. Now I think it was not necessary... 1-2-3) these are the last versions on pptp-linux home page.
