PPTP behind Cisco 2821 - help!

I have a Win2003 server that accepts MS RRAS PPTP VPN connections. Or
rather, it did until I moved them from the cheap soho routers they used to
be on to a shiny new 2821. The machine's public ip of 66.17.84.14 works;
outbound NAT and VPN is fine, I can RDC and FTP into the box. What doesn't
work is connecting to this box with PPTP. I get the familiar GRE error in
the event logs:

"The most common cause for this is that a firewall or router between the VPN
server and the VPN client is not configured to allow Generic Routing
Encapsulation..."

I found this article...

http://www.cisco.com/en/US/tech/tk827/tk369/technologies_configuration_example09186a00800949c0.shtml

.... but that doesn't quite apply, as the VPN server isn't behind NAT or PIX.
Public IP going right to the NIC.

I keep thinking this is an easy fix and if I were to just focus the full
light of my attention on it and google like mad I'd be able to fix it. That
was a month ago, so I'm looking for some help here.

Thanks,
Dave West
