Has anyone been able to get this running in Mandrake 9? I can get the pptpd to run and if I nmap the system 1723 appears open but when I try to connect from any Windows based system it fails automaticaly, no delay or anything. Is there any Document that I can read to make this work w/ mandrake?

I have mandrake 9, but do not have it working entirely.
I can connect from mac OSX 10.2.4 (it has PPTP client built in) and win2k, but cannot pass traffic and after 2 minutes, the connection is dropped.
I got the source for 2.4.19-24mdk kernel.
pptpd 1.1.4beta2 and
pppd 2.4.2beta1
i put them all in /usr/src
compiled pppd and ran the mppeinstall.sh script they talk about which puts a module in /usr/src/linux for ppp_mppe kernel loadable module for handling mppe.
then i compiled and installed pptpd.
then built the source by doing:
make mrproper
make xconfig
(in networking, change MPPE one to M instead of N).
make dep
make bzImage
make modules
make modules_install
i copied the bzImage to my kernel's location, /boot/vmlinuz, rebooted, noted that the kernel modules was now in /lib/modules, setup /etc/modules.conf, /etc/pptpd.conf and /etc/ppp/options.
my osx client connects, and shows a new ppp0 interface as does my linux server box, but pinging one from the other fails everytime. there's no firewalling involved and both are on teh same lan with each other.
the machines have IPs 192.168.183.89 and .95 normally, and the vpn tunnel i was trying to build used 192.168.75.100 and .101 (also tried .76.101, no different.
tried a slightly older kernel and older pppd and pptpd, no different.
i checked the routing tables on each when the link as up, seemed correct. subnet mask was 255.255.255.255 which i didnt set anywhere and i assume is correct, 1 ip to another??

Compile from scratch to eliminate OS specific trouble. This is a very good howto:
