I'm trying to get a PPTP server running on a ubuntu server, but I've run into some issues with it. I followed this guide on how to set up pptpd on my server, and everything went smooth, but when I try to connect with my mac, it gives me this error:

VPN Error

Here's my configuration:

Does anyone have any idea as to what I'm doing wrong here?

Update: Here's what the pptpd.log has to say about it:

steve@debian:~$ sudo tail /var/log/pptpd.log 
sudo: unable to resolve host debian
