VPN is killing me...

I followed these guides:

* http://gentoo-wiki.com/HOWTO_PPTP_VPN_client
* http://gentoo-wiki.com/HOWTO_PPTP_VPN_client_(Microsoft-compatible_with_mppe)
* http://pptpclient.sourceforge.net/howto-diagnosis.phtml

And I got error:

Peer PPTP failed CHAP authentication
sent [CHAP Failure id=0xf4 "E=691 R=1 C=45fff7c04f8baddc730b1571f74d0532 V=0 M=Access denied"]

The thing I can't understand is: what "DOMAIN" should I use for where [DOMAIN\\USER] is necessary??
The manual for particular VPN network is ridiculously short, simple and for Windows. It only states gateway IP and "your username and password"! What domain should I use? Is "!" an \quotable character?

Please help with this, if you can!

the authentication into a windows hosted vpn uses the user account within windows. It will use the local accounts from the machine that is hosting it. If the machine hosting it is using Active Directory, then it will use the accounts from there also.

Most of the domain you won't need to supply a domain, as it will default to the domain that the machine is on, I have see times though when the domain is required. Before you log into the machine, you if you click more info, it will provide a dropdown box, this is the domain name you are logging into. If the machine isn't on a domain, then the domain you are logging into is the local computer name.

Without knowing more information, I am just taking a stab in the dark.

What additional information you'd need? Please write here, so I probably find something...
Now all I have is those manuals, server's IP, ppp output and login.
Later I'll try to use windows machine and 1) check if that works at all (it should) 2) try finding some additional info...

Any idea why chap-secrets file is supposed to have two lines with almost equal content (two entries exchanged)?

I removed some options, that begin with "refuse" and I have a connect... Now routing will come.

Did I got it right: default VPN configuration is forwarding all traffic through VPN's pppN?
Could you give me some example how could I make just one user to have that traffic forwarded?
