   VPN pptp - strange problem

   Hi all you gurues,   
      
   We have some PCs sitting on a wlan behind a Cisco router. We have used NAT   
   (one-one IP adress translation) on the router to tranlate to public   
   addresses when the user want to onto the nternet.   
      
   Then we observed that it was not possible for the PCs to use XPs build in   
   VPN client which used pptp as a protocol to connect to a VP_N server on the   
   Net..   
      
   Then we switched to PAT (many-to one adresse translation) and then they   
   could connect with the VPN client. We find that rather strange   
      
   Has anybody heard about this before - or does someone have an explanation.   
   Has it something to do with Cisco implementation of NAT/PAT   
      
   Any clue is appreciated   
      
   Greetings from Denmark
