If it's PPTP only then I believe you would also need the GRE protocol. If
it's IPSec then there are other things as well. PPTP only? or IPSec as well?

You DON'T need the 137-139 crap...

Subject: [fw-wiz] Needed open ports other than 1723 for MS VPN?


Just a quick simple question for most of you here I am sure. 
In trying to
allow as minimal amount of port openings being exposed. In 
doing so I am
running into a few probloms while having others attempt to VPN 
into my main
server. I have opened 1723 to allow incoming traffic to the 
server but still
am experiencing problems allowing the clients to reach my 
network. Are there
any loopback ports (or any at all) required other than 1723 to 
complete a
VPN connection. I am hoping that I don't receive a response 
that 135 and 139
need to be opened up but if that's what it takes so be it. Thanks in
advance!!
