XP Pro PPTP server (in domain environment)

[Jack Seredyniecki]

Is there any documentation on how to configure it in a domain? ...it
works fine when I connect from another machine on the LAN but it doesn't
work over the Internet. TCP:1723 and GRE are allowed through. I can
successfully test it by using pptpclnt/pptpsrv but I'm still unable to make
a connection over the Internet.

It says 'Verifying username and password...' and then gives err #: 721.

PPTP ping results:

C:\jacks>pptpsrv

Now you must run pptpclnt.exe on remote machine
