Ok, i have made an test, but in the syslog was nothing about the connection? he logs nothing?

So, maybe there's something about the protocol which simply doesn't work through nat without a special helper, or something like that?

As I said, I'm not an expert on PPTP, I just thought the logging rules might
give you a bit more information about what's going on. If not, it's over to
someone who knows how PPTP can be made to work....

It may be dynamic, but you can still find out what it is for a given session.

How?

If it's a Linux machine, ifconfig If it's a Win9x machine, winipcfg If it's a WinXP machine, ipconfig If it's something else, I don't know.

No, I had it working to our Cape Town office using standard iptables NAT. The key was fixed ips.
