I am trying to initiate a connection across our pix firewall...

The source is a win2000 server the destination is a win2003 server (in
our dmz).
I am attempting to make an PPTP connection.

On the pix I have opened up traffic for all ports between the two
servers. We are running version 5.3 of the pix software

I put a packet sniffer on the source computer and it seems to be sending
out the packets but the destination isnt receiving them back. The
connection ends up failing saying there was no answer.

I know the destination pc is configured correctly because i can initiate
  a connection from another pc on the same side of the firewall...

Is there anything I am might be missing here? IS the pix not compatible
with this?
