port security

our office is temporarily without a system administrator, and since I'm the
closest thing to one that we have...I've been elected to take care of things
for the time being.  anyways, a question about VPN and port security.  When
someone sets up a vpn client at home and is using a firewall there, is there
a specific port that VPN runs on with windows 98 that needs to be opened up?
The problem is, one of our support people has a cable modem and is trying to
connect, he initiates the connection and it times out.  Since I can connect
from home the same way, I'm assuming its something with his firewall..being
able to get out of his firewall, but nothing getting back in.  So, if
there's a specific port that VPN runs on...then he could just open his
firewall for that port and our VPN IP address.  any help would be
appreciated!!
