   Over the weekend, I upgraded my Windows NT 4.0 Server to Windows Server   
   2003.  Now I am having problems getting my PPTP VPN connections from my   
   laptop to the server to work properly.   
      
   My server is located behind a Linksys BEFVP41 VPN Router that is connected   
   to a Motorola Comcast Cable Modem.   
      
   With my NT 4.0 Server, I had no trouble establishing a PPTP VPN connection   
   from my Windows XP laptop from the internet thru the Cable Modem and VPN   
   Router to the server.  Note:  The VPN Router is set up with port forwarding   
   for the PPTP traffic;  it does not actually handle the VPN connection in   
   question.   
      
   After upgrading to Windows Server 2003 this no longer works.  However, if I   
   connect my laptop to the local area network that my server is on (bypassing   
   the port forwarding in the Linksys VPN router), the VPN connection still   
   works.   
      
   It is almost like there is some subtle difference in the PPTP system between   
   NT 4.0 and Windows 2003 that interferes with the PPTP forwarding in my   
   Linksys router.   
      
   Does anyone have any ideas what might be happening?   
      
   Thanks,
