Windows NT VPN server behind firewall ?

Is it possible to use a Windows NT server to provide PPTP access to mobile clients rather than using ASL's built in PPTP client ?

If so how would I go about setting this up
from a Firewall rules point of view ? Would I disable the ASL PPTP server and create a rule to allow PPTP traffic access to the PPTP server behind the firewall, having first assigned an alias for the PPTP server on the external interface ?

TIA

running PPTP over astaro firewall with MASQ should work if they included the pptp-masq module. should be standart with the kernel 2.4.x.
if not
control channel is TCP:1723
and traffic goes through IP-PORT:47 (GRE)

hope it helped

I got PPTP to work successfully with Astaro Ver 2.0 All I did define the users under Definition/Users, and assisgned them an IP address.
I did not have to add any other entries.

Works fione with W2K clients

Thanks for the replies - I've set up ASL's internal PPTP for now and that is working very well. At some time in the future I may try again with an NT PPTP server behind ASL.
