By NAT, if you mean that you are using IP Masquerade and you are running a 
2.2 kernel on the Linux box then you need to follow the unstructions at 
http://www.impsec.org/linux/masquerade/ip_masq_vpn.html. 

To sumarize the information you will find there, on your Linux Box, you need 
to 

a) patch the kernel (Link to patch is at the above site)
b) Run ipfwd to forward the initial GRE frame to the WinNT server.
c) Port forward TCP port 1723 to the WinNT server
d) Adjust your firewall rules.
