I've had very similar issues with this as well. Though with me many times it won't connct and if I wait 5-10 and retry it eventually seems to work. Same issue with 3 sites. Strange part is that there is one place I pptp into which is done by a win2k server and it always connects never any issues.

My situation is the same. Office pfSense with PPTP enabled. Home pfSense without PPTP and I can connect from home to work without any issues. Once I enable PPTP @ home, I can no longer get from home to work using PPTP. Turning off PPTP @ home then allows me to connect from home to work again. Holger has tried this in his lab I believe and was not able to re-create it and I think maybe he did it outside of the lab too without being able to create the problem and thus it was closed. While I am sorry to see you have the same issue, it is encouraging to know I am not crazy :-) I am sorry I have no real info on a fix, I can only confirm this behavior.
