Justin,

I hope I'm understanding your post correctly, but... I have had no such
problems with NT4 (sp6) based PPTP servers. In fact, most of my customers
are running NT4 PPTP servers behind a firewall (linux or other). I connect
into them all the time to administer them from behind my firewall or as a
road warrior with my laptop. FWIW: My desktop is running W2K and my laptop
is running WinME.

Also, I have seen the problem you mentioned earlier about the "no valid
cert" error when using my W2K system. To be honest, this is a really strange
error. In fact, I have no idea why this is happening, but I have found that
if I logout and then log back in (w2k), then re-establish the VPN, I do not
get this error anymore. Odd!!!
