VPN ports

[Johnson, Mark F.]

Hi Folks,
First, my sincerest apologies. I know this question could easily be answered
by "RTFM", but I'm in a serious time crunch and I need some answers fast. I
just installed a D-link DI-701 residential gateway at home and my VPN
connection to my WinNT 4.0 server at work went right out the windows (pardon
the pun.) I'm using plain vanilla MS PPTP and it's worked fine to this
point. I've opened port # 1723 on the DI-701 firewall to allow the
connection, but the whole thing tanks when verifying username/password. The
handshake gets from my pc to the server, but the reply is blocked by the
firewall. Is there another port that MS uses for VPN? I thought it was only
1723.

TIA
Mark
