Can't connect to PPTP from Windows7

Hi all. Having an issue connecting through PPTP on my Linode. I followed this StackScript https://www.linode.com/stackscripts/view/8517 to get me most of the way along, but cannot connect from the native Windows 7 PPTP VPN connection tool. Tailing the /var/log/pptp.log file, I am seeing the following repeated over and over:

Connect: ppp0 <--> /dev/pts/2
sent [LCP ConfReq id=0x1 <asyncmap 0x0=""><auth chap="" ms-v2=""><magic 0xa3629518=""><pcomp><accomp>]
rcvd [LCP ConfReq id=0x2 <mru 1400=""><magic 0xb4272ed=""><pcomp><accomp><callback cbcp="">]
sent [LCP ConfRej id=0x2 <callback cbcp="">]

rcvd [LCP ConfReq id=0x2 <mru 1400=""><magic 0xb4272ed=""><pcomp><accomp><callback cbcp="">]
sent [LCP ConfRej id=0x2 <callback cbcp="">]
...</callback></callback></accomp></pcomp></magic></mru></accomp></pcomp></magic></auth></asyncmap></callback></callback></accomp></pcomp></magic></mru></accomp></pcomp></magic></auth></asyncmap> 

Here is my /etc/pptpd.conf file:

option /etc/ppp/pptpd-options
logwtmp
localip 192.168.0.1
remoteip 192.168.0.2-123

Here is my pptpd-options file:

name pptpd
refuse-pap
refuse-chap
require-mschap-v2
require-mppe-128
ms-dns 8.8.8.8
ms-dns 8.8.4.4
debug
logfile /var/log/pptpd.log
lock
nobsdcomp

/etc/sysctl.conf

#
# /etc/sysctl.conf - Configuration file for setting system variables
# See /etc/sysctl.d/ for additonal system variables
# See sysctl.conf (5) for information.

# Uncomment the next line to enable packet forwarding for IPv4
net.ipv4.ip_forward=1

Help appreciated!
