LINUX VPN client to Microsoft VPN Server

I've searched far and wide and have been hitting dead ends with PPTP
PPPD PPP OPENVPN OOP PPTPConfig and KVpnc

We have a Windows 2003 server hosting (with AD) VPN and I'm on Suse10
linux. Every one of those methods gives me the same error where my
network card is sending a ConfReq until it times out. No replies or
anything. Of course windows computers can VPN easily.

Firewall Ports open LINUX:
1723, GRE, 1194 (A few others that don't pertain to this problem I
believe)






Here's a log:

ping it...

I am getting the same problem. A friend brought over his laptop, which
works from his house, and it doesn't work from mine. We tried changing
timeout parameters, but still no luck. I suppose I am saying that what
is wrong might not be in your setup, but in some feature of the network.
