Check to see if you have a live IP address on your server (either nic one or nic two).

See if you can ping this address, if you can then the vpn should work.

Unless you are using NATPT NAT on your router. This is mean VPN will not work. You toset your server up live on the Net if you are going over the net for VPN. You need to have a Lan to Lan router setup with your ISP using a ISP connection setup on your router will not work, as it hides your Server from the web.

One thing you may look at is using a router that does the VPN for you. A Nettopia is a good one for this. The router handles all VPN verification to the network.

I have just recently set one up. Drop me an email if you have any further questions..
