Error 720 connecting to server via VPN

Thanks in advance. I'm at a lose with this problem.

I've got a SBS 2003 R2 server connected via a single NIC to my LAN. (Fully
service packed up etc.) I've got various client machines (Win XP SP2) that I
want to connect to the server via VPN (going via the LAN and remotely via the
Internet).

I've gone through this newsgroup, ran again the CEICW and Remote Access
Wizard (all complete fine).

I have run successfully the Connection Manager package on the client PC but
when I try and connect I get Error 720 - which says "A connection to the
remote computer could not be established. You might need to change the
network settings for this connection. For further assistance, click More Info
or search Help and Support Center for this error number. (Error 720) For
customized troubleshooting information for this connection, click Help."

I've used the pptp ping tools (no problems, so it's not my router firewall).

The client pc can connect by all the other methods (remote desktop, RWW, etc)

I'm using dyndns.org to get around my ISP dynamic IP and that seems to be
work fine too, as going to the URL brings up the server page.

One thing I have noticed is that under Routing and Remote Access in Ports
there is loads of WAN Miniport (PPTP) (VPN4-x), but all are have the Status
as Inactive.

The connection log (on the client) says...

[cmdial32] 22:40:00 04 Pre-Connect Event ConnectionType = 1
[cmdial32] 22:40:00 06 Pre-Tunnel Event UserName = sysadmin Domain = ******
