hi there,

Do you see the service 'listening' using the following command:

# netstat -a
Active Internet connections (including servers)
Proto Recv-Q Send-Q  Local Address          Foreign Address        (state)
tcp4       0      0  myIPADDR.pptp           *.*                    LISTEN

i see the PPTP service when i do:

# sockstat -4
USER     COMMAND    PID   FD PROTO  LOCAL ADDRESS         FOREIGN ADDRESS
user     mpd      1984    14 tcp4   publicIPADDR:1723     *:*

im using 4.4-release with mpd-3.8.

hope this helps.

Also...does anyone know why Windows 98 doesn't work with MPD? I
haven't heard 1 successful story with FBSD -> Win98 (i can get FBSD ->
Win2K to work with no problems using CHAP and PAP). Any insight would
be great.
