PI X PPTP stopped working

[Paolo Supino <paolo () actcom net il>]

Hi

  A very strange thing happened to me today: A PIX firewall I have, 
stopped accepting PPTP connections. The only thing that happened before 
it stopped responding to PPTP connection was that I ran nmap scanner on 
the subnet this PIX is on (to try and find out whether someone decided 
to start another computer on it. Apart from this nothing has changed on 
this subnet for a while including the PIX' configuration. Trying to 
telnet to port 1723 gives the error: "Could not open a connection to 
host on port 1723 : Connection failed". Any help solving this problem 
will greatly appreciated.


the PIX configuration is (IP addresses, names and password hashes 
changed to protect the innocent):
