Protocol 47/GRE also needs to be allowed to pas through the firewall. On some
firewalls it is referred to as pptp passthrough. Also configure the properties of
your client vpn connectoid to use pptp as server type in properties/network type. By
default W2K will try l2tp first if set to auto. Try to connect by the public IP
address also if you are using name currently. --- Steve
