NAT/BASIC Firewall

I have a multihomed RRAS 2003 server (current with all SPs and fixes) on
which I wish to enable the Basic Firewall through RRAS. I have added the
interface and configured the public adapter under NAT/Basic Firewall. I
choose public interface connected to the Internet and enable basic firewall
on this interface. I then added the exceptions for HTTP and PPTP under
services and ports. Immediately my inbound VPN clients get disconnected and
cannot re-connect. The web site on port 80 also becomes available. Am I
misunderstanding how this feature works? What am I doing wrong?

Thanks....
