Ok, my mistake on this one   :)

but now, what do you think of this ?

ng0: flags=88d1<UP,POINTOPOINT,RUNNING,NOARP,SIMPLEX,MULTICAST> mtu 1500
         inet6 fe80::2b0:d0ff:fee1:4874%ng0 prefixlen 64 scopeid 0x7
         inet 192.168.0.10 --> 192.168.0.200 netmask 0xffffffff

and here's the part from my mpd.conf that's related to this connection :

pptp0:
         new -i ng0 pptp0 pptp0
         set iface disable on-demand
         set iface enable proxy-arp
         set iface idle 3600
         set bundle enable multilink
         set link yes acfcomp protocomp
         set link no pap chap
         set link enable chap
         set link keep-alive 10 60
         set link mtu 1460   <----------------- !
         set ipcp yes vjcomp
         set ipcp ranges 192.168.0.10/32 192.168.0.200/32
         set ipcp dns 192.168.0.10
         set ipcp nbns 192.168.0.10

So, where's the catch ?
