In addition to allowing TCP/1723 to the server (this is the PPTP control channel), you have to allow IP protocol 47, Generic Routing Encapsulation, bidirectionally through your router to the PPTP server. PPTP works with NAT so other than that you shouldn't have any problems. On Fri, 16 Jul 1999, Daniel Knighten wrote:

I am looking to configure a MicroSoft PPTP server behind a Cisco 675 ADSL router. From the documentation I have seen it looks like I just have to forward TCP port 1723 to the server to get this to work. Is that correct? I am using the 675 as a simple firewall by running it in routing mode, as apposed to bridge mode, and using NAT to hide the machines on the internal private network.
