vpn problems

I've been working on setting up a VPN for the good part
of 2 days now. I would like to think I have viewed all
available information on the subject but I still can't
get it to work. I am able to ping the IP address, but I'm
still getting a "Error 678" message. I have exausted evey
option, except that I still don't know how to make sure
port 1723 is open. Any help would be greatly appreciated.

Error 678: There was not answer.

Resolution:
1) you are dialing the wrong number.
2) make sure you have good connection.
3) If using VPN, make sure the port 1723 and IP Protocol 47 (GRE) are
opened.
