Hi Charlie,
If that is the case, would connecting via PPTP in Windows also fail, because
it works fine in Windows.

I'm not sure if "Cannot determine ethernet address for proxy ARP" is the
actual error because when looking at PPTP documentation, a "good" log has
the same message in it.

In my previous message, I said that I hadn't used pptpclient in a month or
so and it all of a sudden stopped worked.  I just remember, I upgraded from
Ubuntu 6.06 to 6.10 in this last month.  Maybe something (a configuration
file?) got messed up in the process?

Thanks for the help,
