I don't recall.  Contact the original poster.  This is why I prefer
people to write back to the mailing list to let us know when they
resolve something ... and why I don't like people contacting me directly
unless I ask them to ... 

http://pptpclient.sourceforge.net/why.phtml is my current rant on this.

As for that problem, I've not encountered it myself.  Casting my memory
back to when someone was experiencing it, the cause was an intervening
router or gateway that discarded the knowledge of the connection if it
was idle for a long time.  Adding keep-alive packets at the PPP level
fixed it.
