It's not very strange..pptp is a proprietary Microsoft protocal.. I would try to find some exact information/howto that might be able to tell you how to fool the MS server.
We only have Linux-pptp-clients so it would be better if windows does'nt work instead of linux :) But i'm working on it ;)
Is there a better alternative that can work with dynamic ip ? Times ago i use cipe (but it doen'nt support dynamic ip't at this time).

Best regards, Kai.
The PPTP client from the PPTP project on SourceForge http://sourceforge.net/projects/pptpclient/ works quite well with MS PPTP and MS VPN servers. They just did another release, although I have not had to upgrade. The PPTP client works with dynamic IP - I have mine set up that way, and sets the route tables correctly once the PPTP link is up. The only patch that I had to apply was the ppp_generic.c patch to the kernel ppp modules. I suggest that you subscribe to the PPTP mailing list and post your questions there; the developers can help you much better than I :-) -ronc
