[pptp-server] ipchains on client firewall

Good day folks.
  Newbie here, doin' his best and hitting the wall.  I have read the 
howtos and faqs and am still having troubles at the client end.  The
Server end is quite happy though. I have an NT client behind a Redhat 6.1
firewall trying to connect to a PoPToP server.  I'm sure I have the wrong
IPchains rules on that firewall.  Here they are.

ipchains -P forward DENY
ipchains -A forward -j MASQ -s 192.168.0.0/24 -d 0.0.0.0/0
ipchains -A input -p tcp -d <external IP> 1723 -j ACCEPT
ipchains -A input -p tcp -d <external IP> -j ACCEPT
ipchains -A forward -p tcp -d <external IP> 1723 -j ACCEPT
ipchains -A forward -p tcp -s <external IP> 1723 -j ACCEPT
ipchains -A forward -p 47 -d <external IP> -j ACCEPT
ipchains -A forward -P 47 -s <external IP> -j ACCEPT

It's just a home system so all I want from the wall is to allow all
outgoing traffic and for the PPTP traffic to work!  Any tips, flames, kind
words from the masses?
