hi i had the same problem the ppp-mppe module u r trying to install doesnot work with this kernel(compiled with gcc 3.2 on rh 8.0) instead search for this srpm ppp-2.4.1-demand_script-0.4-3mppe.src.rpm i have this srpm and i had infact mailed it on this list but my mail got caught in red-tape do rpmbuild --rebuild ppp-2.4.1-demand_script-0.4-3mppe.src.rpm
then install the rpm created in /usr/src/redhat/RPMS/i386/
then install pptpd then install pptp-linux
edit /etc/ppp/pap-secrets
add this line
<your username> * <your password> *
save the file
then edit /etc/sysconfig/network-scripts/ifcfg-eth0 and change the gateway field to 0.0.0.0 or if it doesnot exist
add the line GATEWAY='0.0.0.0' save it restart network
then save this command as a script in ur /bin directory /sbin/modprobe -v ppp
pptp 172.16.9.1 debug noauth user <username> +pap noauth mppe-40 mppe-128 mppe-stateless defaultroute
give ifconfig
u should see ip addresses for pp0,eth0 and lo
if so u r done
enjoy the net
