Re: problem getting client to connect via pptpd

There is not enough information from your logs to determine the exact
cause, but it looks like pppd cannot negotiate with the peer.  pppd
declares an LCP timeout, and aborts.  The abort cascades to pptpd.

You can gather more information by:

1.  add the debug option to pppd and have another look at the logs
after a connection; this should show you the negotiation at LCP level,

2.  using "tcpdump icmp or proto 47" to capture a packet trace during
a connection attempt, and analyse it.

I don't understand the other questions you asked.
