I've been using pptpd since interpid, and it worked perfectly with vista.

Now, since i've upgraded to jaunty and after working around https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/pptpd/+bug/352622 , i can connect again from a vista machine. The problem is that after a few minutes, i get disconnected.

This is what i can find in my logfile:

... connection works fine ...

Google'ing on "from network failed: status = -1 error = Protocol not available" doesn't give any usefull results...
