[pptp-server] problems with linksys etherfast cable/dsl route r

[Cowles, Steve]

Personally, I have not installed the Linksys firewall, but based on the
content of these posts... it sounds like you need to find the port
forwarding equivalent command set so that inbound TCP port 1723 and/or
protocol 47 (GRE) packets are properly forwarded to your PPTP server behind
the firewall/router. 

Consider checking LinkSys/Netopia's website. Specifically - the FAQ and
Knowledge base sections.
