>From memory (as in: it's been a while since I've done anything serious
with it), ipchains doesn't handle address translation of protocols other
than TCP/UDP/ICMP very well. Although it *should* be able to handle a
single outgoing PPTP connection ok (running multiple tunnels, or running
a PPTP server behind NAT, is where you start needing special support).

What's happening on your firewall - is it blocking either the outgoing
or returning GRE packets (IP protocol 47)?
