The following statement jumped out at me:

 "2.Two NIC's installed - one with internal IP address (155.200.100.101) and
another with external IP address (Our ISP provides us with static IP which
is mapped to NIC2 and NIC1 is the internal LAN card (I'm using 155.200.100.X
IP scheme for our internal LAN)."

My question to this is why? Are you actually connecting one card to the NAT
"outside" side, and the other to the NAT "inside" side? If so, I would not
recommend it. I would have an entry like "ip nat inside source static
address address" in the router that is doing nat. Make sure you are not
doing and an a translation like "ip nat inside tcp|udp".

Multihoming and MS PPTP sometimes does not get along very well. For example
if you specify the default gateway on the wrong card it can loose
connectivity to the gateway during pptp negotiation and then your connection
would fail. My advice is this, get this server to a single NIC scenario
unless you have a specific need for multi homing. If you do need to multi
home, get it to one nic until you get it connecting from the outside, then
enable the second nic and put out any fires that may cause.
