I can get to my "server" from my laptop but it won't connect.   
      
   I have a DNS translation at dynup.net.   
   my LT is configured to connect to workplace VPN ( = client)   
   my username and PW when connecting is the same as configured in my DT   
   My DT is configured to accept VPN (= server)   
   My routers are configured to pass port 1723 (PPTP) and 47 protocol   
   When I try to connect my firewall responds with a request to allow   
   incoming - I do allow.   
   But there is no connection made. (never any request by firewall to   
   allow outgoing).   
      
   I am missing a piece.   
      
   I DO NOT have any other VPN software installed - do I need this?   
   If so, what?   
      
   my objective is to use this connection as a file server for a DB file   
   for an application.   
      
   thanks
