Hello Guyz,
I setup a VPN server on my network runing Server 2003 so that a remote office can access local resources at the head office.
I discovered that pinging the Public IP address on the VPN server times out. ICMP is enabled that LAN Adapter.

Any clue on this is welcomed
 
Are there firewalls in between? Pings don't traverse all firewalls by default. In addition, the firewall on the other end would probably need to be configured to allow echo replies. Have you tried telneting to the listening VPN port? For example, "telnet 10.1.2.3 1723" would test if the remote IP was listening for a PPTP connection.
