Hi all,

Could you please advise, how to find why VPN which was working with pptpd stopped working? 

I was out and when I came I found the box down and since that time VPN is not working. 
- Windows client says Error 678 "The remote computer didn't respond" 
- (but I can ping it as 195.39.130.92) and 
- on the Internet port of the server 195.39.130.92 I can see the following traffic related to the VPN client PC:

# tcpdump -n -i eth0|grep "94.129.168.182" |grep -v "ICMP"
tcpdump: verbose output suppressed, use -v or -vv for full protocol decode
listening on eth0, link-type EN10MB (Ethernet), capture size 65535 bytes
