VPN from XP Pro to XP Pro behind routers

[Pilgrim]

Ok, I've successfully used Remote Desktop from my work machine to my home
machine. They're both running XP Pro SP1 and both behind routers. My home
machine has an ADSL connection through a Netgear FM114P and I use with
No-IP.org's dynamic IP service so that I can connect to it. The FM114P does
have VPN pass-through.

Can I use VPN between these two machines? I enabled port forwarding on 1723
but I still get the 733 error when trying to connect.

assuming you also open ip protocol 47, this may help quoted
http://www25.brinkster.com/ChicagoTech
Error 733: the PPP control protocol for this network protocol is not
available on the server.

Resolution:
1) Ensure that the TCP/IP protocol is installed on your RAS server and that
the TCP/IP protocol is selected in the Server Settings of the Network
Configuration option of the Remote Access Setup dialog.
2) If you have the "Use DHCP to assign remote TCP/IP client addresses"
option selected for the TCP/IP protocol in the RAS Server Settings, then
ensure that you have installed DHCP and that it is not disabled.
3) Ensure that all of the bindings for TCP/IP are enabled in the Bindings
tab of the Network dialog of the Control Panel. Be sure to inspect the
TCP/IP Protocol and WINS Client (TCP/IP) bindings for all adapters, all
protocols, and all services. If the TCP/IP bindings are corrupt, you may
have to reinstall TCP/IP and or RAS in order to clean up the bindings.
