Hi again,

Tried  the proposed configurataion. The first time my log said:

ppp[67205]: Warning: Label /etc/ppp/options.pptp rejected -direct
connection: Configuration label not found

Then I thought that I maybe didn't needed the old /etc/ppp.conf, so I moved
that away. Now the result was:

ppp[67267]: Warning: Label /etc/ppp/options.pptp rejected -direct
connection: /etc/ppp/ppp.conf : File not found
ppp[67205]: Warning: Label /etc/ppp/options.pptp rejected -direct
connection: Configuration label not found

To me it is a bit confusing which files pptpd on FreeBSD uses. Do you have a
/etc/ppp/ppp.conf and if so, what does it contain?

Regards,
Jon
