VPN Connection issue



I can get to my "server" from my laptop but it won't connect.

I have a DNS translation at dynup.net.
my LT is configured to connect to workplace VPN ( = client)
my username and PW when connecting is the same as configured in my DT
My DT is configured to accept VPN (= server)
My routers are configured to pass port 1723 (PPTP) and 47 protocol
When I try to connect my firewall responds with a request to allow
incoming PPTP - I do allow.
But there is no connection made. (never any request by firewall to
allow outgoing).
Error 800 on laptop

I am missing a piece.

I DO NOT have any other VPN software installed - do I need this?
If so, what?

my objective is to use this connection as a file server for a DB file
for an application.

WinXP SP2

thanks
