It has nothing to do with it. Possibilities include that the machine 
hosting the MSDE has Windows Firewall configured to only allow 
connections from within it's own subnet. If your MSDE server has, for 
example, an address like 192.168.1.7, and your pptp connection is 
configured to be 192.168.2.x, then you have to change the firewall 
setting on your MSDE box to allow connections from that network as well, 
or go crazy and set it to allow connections from, say, 
192.168.0.0/255.255.0.0 (which means anybody on 192.168.x.y, which is 
somewhat insecure but probably safe enough for your particular 
installation).
