Problem with VPN

Hi!
I am new in Archlinux,but I have some experience with Slackware and Fedore.
I read careful Archwiki about VPN,and make like it was there,but nothing(
Help me please!
I have:
/etc/ppp/peers/kpitelecom

name samyray
remotename PPTP
ipparam kpitelecom
lock
deflate 0
defaultroute
lcp-echo-interval 60
lcp-echo-failure 4
lcp-echo-interval 15
pty "/usr/bin/pptp vpn2.ntu-kpi.kiev.ua --nolaunchpppd"

/etc/ppp/chap-secrets

# Secrets for authentication using CHAP
# client        server  secret                  IP addresses
samyray PPTP      my_pass   10.7.2.253

but
/var/log/daemon.log

Aug 23 01:53:52 samyray pppd[11130]: The remote system (PPTP) is required to authenticate itself
Aug 23 01:53:52 samyray pppd[11130]: but I couldn't find any suitable secret (password) for it to use to do so.

And if I understand right,after command pon i must see the new device ppp0,but

ifconfig -a
lo        Link encap:Local Loopback  
          inet addr:127.0.0.1  Mask:255.0.0.0

Re: Problem with VPN

Hi samyray,
I think that /etc/ppp/chap-secrets should be:

# Secrets for authentication using CHAP
# client        server  secret                  IP addresses
samyray PPTP      my_pass   10.7.2.253 *

With * at the end of the line
