My VPN from my office (XP PRO) to home (Fedora 6) has been not working for a while, I finally got around to looking at it, and re-installed ppp and pptpd, and lo and behold, it WORKED!! ...For one day. Today I'm getting "error 619" on the client, and the following in the logs:
Jun 7 16:19:43 arturo pptpd[29374]: MGR: Maximum of 1 connections available
Jun 7 16:19:54 arturo pptpd[29433]: MGR: Maximum of 100 connections reduced to 1, not enough IP a

Jun 7 16:20:03 arturo pppd[29455]: Exit.
Jun 7 16:20:03 arturo pptpd[29454]: CTRL: Client xxx.xxx.xxx.xxx control connection finished
This is what was happening before. I'm puzzled because I used the VPN yesterday without issue, but today it's not working, and I have not changed any settings in between.
Here is a sample log from yesterday:
Jun 6 13:16:18 arturo pptpd[1333]: CTRL: Client xxx.xxx.xxx.xxx control connection started

Jun 6 13:16:40 arturo pppd[1335]: remote IP address 192.168.1.18
Suggestions? :confused:
EDIT: I rebooted last night and now the VPN is working, but who knows for how long.. What could cause that?
