Which port needs to be opened on a SonicWALL firewall for a PPTP VPN to pass through?

I'm setting up a Point to Point Tunneling Protocol (PPTP) Virtual Private Network (VPN).

I need to know exactly which port on the network's SonicWALL firewall to open up which will then connect to the internal IP address of the file server where the users have their file shares.

So, which port needs to be opened on a SonicWALL firewall for a PPTP VPN to pass through?

Alright. I'm just trying to make sure that I know exactly which protocol to tell the SonicWALL tech support department to open when I call their tech support department tonight.

I have to set up this VPN tonight and I need to make sure that everything is done right.

bypassing core firewall and creating PPTP VPN setup will be difficult, why dont you use Sonicwall GVC (Global VPN Client) to gain user access from outside to one server or your LAN?
Sonicwall GVC would be more secure and easy to setup + Troubleshoot
