You need to fix this error first or you will not be able to connect at all.  To fix it, you need to provide the answers to these:

Show output of:

uname -a

rpm -qa kernel*

rpm -qa kmod*

Until you fix the MPPE requirement there is nothing else that you can/should do.

You should update your whole system, it is a coherent set of packages and kernel/kernel mods etc.
It also includes all security related fixes.

yum update
signal-event post-upgrade
reboot
