Can not connect through VPN

[Ken]

I have XP pro at work and at home. I have a VPN set up
and can ping the internal ip addresses at work from home.
At home I am connecting to the internet through a linksys
DSL router over SBC DSL. I have tried succesfully to
connect to my work computer from a dialup connection from
a friends laptop with XP Pro, but when I try connecting
from my home I get an error message stating the
connection timed out (possibly due to network errors -
Please try connecting again). The event viewer on my work
PC records these unsuccessful remote connections with a
terminal service error. Event ID 1036 with the details of
the event as follows:
Terminal Server session creation failed. The relevant
status code was 0xC0000022.


Please help,
Thank you,
Ken

I do not have a 3rd party firewall on this PC. The
Linksys Router does have a built-in firewall. I
appreciate your reply, any other ideas?

Just an addendum - TCP Port 1723

I know for in coming VPN with linksys you have to forward port 1723
to your computer ip address and enable PPTP pass through
in you router not shore about out going
