I was starting to think that my Linux server may in fact be fallible. But no, the problem was of course on Windows' end. Ironically there was an old notice from MS that ZA broke PPTP on Win2k, but that was supposedly resolved in v2.6 o ZA. I wonder if 8.x fixes this...? I downgraded to 7.x because 8.x had its own severe problems (interfering with shutdown and sleep and such). Anyway, no firewall for me for now. Good thing I'm behind my iptables. Thanks so much!

I was having the exact same issue. I was using Vista with SP1 and the version of ZoneAlarm you mentioned. I already tried adding the VPN server to the trusted zone and disabling ZoneAlarm but to no avail. I concluded that ZoneAlarm couldn't be the problem. I guess I was wrong because VPN worked again like a charm after uninstalling ZoneAlarm. Thank you!!! I was having the exact same issue.
