Try disabling VJ TCP/IP header compression on Windows box.
I think I have the same problem, and when connecting to 2.4 server
I see these in logs (this is linux client):
Jan  3 01:14:17 home kernel: PPP: VJ decompression error
Jan  3 01:14:37 home kernel: PPP: VJ decompression error

Why this happens? This occurs when I try to connect to 2.4 server _only_ :(
Same hardware on both sides but 2.2 on server and no problems.
