Micro$oft has a 'technote' on this in their technet section on the website. AFAIR you need to allow protocol 37 to be forwarded between the two.

I have added a rule that forwards the protocol 37, but it still not works?

Thanx Peter

Have you tried adding my suggested LOGging rules to see if there's something important still being DROPped?

PPTP relies on a slightly modified GRE tunnel, which protocol _47_, not 37.

cbr@anduril:~$ grep gre /etc/protocols
gre     47      GRE             # General Routing Encapsulation

Yup, you are correct. My mistake. I found the info at Technet in their document entitled 'VPN servers and firewall configuration'
