I had the same problem. I also tried to connect from external IP located behind firewall without any rules. I couldnt connect to pptp server also [with timeout]. Then I recognized then unloading ip_nat_pptp module causes the connection could be achieved correct. [Other related modules ie. ip_conntrack_pptp, ip_conntrack_proto_gre doesn't influence connection].

Also working on the same setup [+latest official path-o-matic]. Regards, tw --
