Unrelated to the problem (I hope).  However when I asked a group on campus
who are already doing VPN under NT what was needed for a Win95 client, they
told me to install DUN update 1.3 followed by sockets fix; I think that's
also known as 'ws2setup'.  Don't have a URL for it except intranet ones.
I think it's just a generally recommended thing for anyone still running Win95.

No.  Look at the entry further down in netstat -na called "raw".

Because you're looking at the TCP control connection.  PPTP uses more than just
that connection.  Look at pptpgre.c.

The control connection gets established, the real data connection doesn't I 
suspect.  Your masquerading probably can't handle GRE.
