From Windows 2000 Mag article hosted on Technet(
When you place a VPN server behind your firewall, be sure to enable IP protocol 47 (Generic Routing Encapsulation—GRE) and TCP port 1723. The connection uses port 1723 for general housekeeping, such as PPTP tunnel creation, maintenance, and termination. Port 47 passes tunneled data between the client and the server (including the GRE protocol), and you also need TCP port 1723 [established] if you're supporting RAS server-to-server VPN connections.
