On Windows Server 2003 the way to do this is under Administrative Tools, Routing and Remote Access. See http://support.microsoft.com/kb/323441 for instructions.

I however feel that PPTP is insecure and outdated. You should invest in a hardware firewall that supports IPSec VPN clients, or better yet SSL VPN, such as some Netgear FVS series or Cisco ASA 55xx series devices.
