SBS 2003 VPN

I have just set-up a Windows 2003 SBS system and all of the remote access
(Outlook, Sharepoint, Remote Accesss etc) work correctly. I have created a
remote access disk for the VPN which when installed allows connection to the
server and then says checking password but never manages to actually get past
this point.

The server is connected directly to a firewall and I have opened port 1723
can anyone please point me in the right direction?

you will need to allow protocol 47 (gre packets) also
