So my computer is connected to the monowall through a pptp vpn tunnel. I have gotten it to work successfully, and stayed on for a reasonable amount of time. The problem is that when I disconnect my vpn connection, I can't reconnect afterwards. Sometimes I can't connect at all. I've tried connecting with multiple computers and get the same result. I would think that it's not setup right, except that every now and then it does randomly connect.
In the monowall system logs I see:

Obviously 65.100.45.53 is my computer trying to connect. Can anyone check this out and see what you think? I don't speak this language but clearly something is not jiving. Maybe that "Oct 29 11:38:29 mpd: [pt0] LCP: parameter negotiation failed" ??
I just cant understand why this would work intermittantly. Am I setup wrong somehow or is my monowall hardware failing?
