What I need to know is this, I have setup a VPN connection on our Windows 2003 server. I need to configure our iptables firewall to allow this connection, also if anything is different on a 2000 server I will need to know what to change in case we decide to use it in the future. I need the vpn's Public IP to point to the private IP of our VPN server and open any ports to that IP that need to be opened for the vpn connection to work, Im guessing just 1723. I think that some rules have already been created that point the Public IP to the Private address but not port 1723. Thanks in advance for any advice you can give.
