Unfortunately, there are as many flavors of xDSL as there are ice cream at
Baskin-Robins. My particular setup consists of an ADSL modem from Fujitsu
(not router) which then connects to my linux based router/firewall which
then forwards the inbound PPTP connection to my masq'd PopTop server running
on Redhat6.1. Whew!!

Sometimes this problem can be as simple as your router "blocking" the
inbound GRE protocol along with TCP port 1723. You might want to check.
