VPN Frustration

Here is the setup:
Win XP x64 on a desktop connected via CAT5e to a Dell TrueMobile 2300. The router is serviced by an SBC ADSL WAN Link. The "server" (x64 desktop) is statically assigned 192.168.1.10 and is set as DMZ on the TrueMobile. The unit is configured to accept outside connections with PPTP and assign them an address from the scope 192.160.1.100 to 192.169.1.130.

Problem:
When connecting from an off site location we get the "Verifying Username and Password" dialouge and then error out.

Considerations:
1) We have tested it internally. The clients get an IP address within that range and works fine.
2) PPTP/VPN Passthrough is enabled on all involved devices (The TrueMobile has 1723 forwarded).

Any and all ideas are welcome.
Thanks!

Thanks for your input. I agree with a few things you said and even venture to say that I must have made a typo somewhere (192.160* hahah!) so that statement of mine made little sense.

The ultimate answer was that the customers were running Dynamic DSL Packages from SBC (without my knowledge - of course, let the IT guy know the details last) and they naturally need SBC Static IP Packages to take advantage of web & VPN services (confirmed this with SBC Technicial Support).

Thanks a bunch!
