Tiger VPN client (PPTP) to Windows 2003 SBS

Tags: vpn, pptp, windows, 2003, client
Hi all!

The OVERVIEW:

I have a Windows 2003 SBS configured to allow RRAS via PPTP. It is behind a Linksys BEFSR41v4 (firmware July, 2005) with port forwarding of the relevant VPN ports forwarding (1723).  

Windows clients can connect perfectly via PPTP. All shares are visible.

Mac (all OS X 10.4.4) clients can connect via PPTP to the server while on the internal network.

Outside the network, Tiger's VPN client stalls at "negotiating" and times out.

The allowed authentication types are: MS-CHAPv2, MS-CHAP, CHAP.

The users are configured for DIAL-IN Access (allowed).

I have tried DigiTunnel as well without any success in connecting via PPTP.

The QUESTION:

**Is there another port I need to forward for the OS X VPN client to authenticate properly off-site?**

Thanks very much.
