Need help setting up VPN with Windows 2000 Server

I'm going :x trying to set up a VPN on my Windows 2000 server. I'm currently running WinRoute Pro 4. 2 on the server. I'm thinking that maybe WinRoute is causing some trouble. When I do try to connect from my Laptop, it doesn't work.

I'm sure this already has been covered here, so search the messageboard.

PPTP needs Protocol ID 47 (Generic Routing Encapsulation) and port 1723 in order for a client to connect.

47 does the actual data payload
1723 does the authenication of the user.

Check your settings in the RRAS snapin on your server to make sure you have created PPTP ports.

Though I have not used Winroute, it sounds like the ports need to be mapped from the router to the actual server doing the VPN

I use winroute and yes you do have to map the PPTP port to the machine.

Take a look at this URL. It is a PDF.
