VPN server on Windows XP doesn't work for my client

[Guest]

Hi
I'm need VPN access to my LAN for one of client. So in the LAN I set up Windows XP Prof to VPN Server. My network is following:

Windows XP (VPN Server) ---LAN---- Router (OpenBSD) ---Internet---- Windows XP (VPN Cliet)

On my Router I did a port mapping for ports 1723/TCP, 1701/UDP although I want to use only PPTP becouse it seems to be more simplier fot set up. But when a VPN client try to connect it gets only error 721 (Server didn't respond)

I try to use a sniffer on my XP box with VPN Server and I can see about 4 packets to the port 1723/TCP so I suppose that should be work.
