I am having a problem setting up a VPN through a Linksys router.

In a nutshell, this is what I am attempting to accomplish:

We have a SQL-server based application that 2 end users need to be able to access from their desktops that fall outside the LAN. The server in the LAN has been set up to allow for remote access

We are trying to configure the Microsoft VPN solution using PPTP.
The router has been set up to forward Port 47 and 1723 requests to the server (in this regard, Port 80 requests are also passed to this machine, and functions properly).

When attempting to connect via the VPN connection using the 'public' IP address, the connection fails. When I use the 'private' IP address of the server, the connection works fine.

According to the Linksys people, my router is configured properly.

Any suggestions?

Thanks!
