PPTP not responding on WAN port

Ok so i have setup a PPTP server on my Router and can connect to it with out any problems on any of the LAN devices. The issue is that if i try to access it remotely via the public static IP address that i have i get and 800 error, ie server not found.

How do i open up the ports and allow the server to be accessed via the public IP?

  1. On the wiki, there is a page about PPTP. http://wiki.mikrotik.com/wiki/Manual:Interface/PPTP Which tells you what port PPTP uses.

  2. Also on the wiki, there is a page about IP Firewall. http://wiki.mikrotik.com/wiki/Manual:IP/Firewall/Filter which tells you how to accept packets on a given port.

I found the issue that i was having, i have 2 gateways on my router the ptpp was not answering on either… once i disabled one of them it worked right away…

Is there a way that will allow me to use both still?
Obviously i have something configured wrong.
