I am trying to access a PPTP VPN from behind a PIX506E Firewall. I am able to connect to the VPN however it will only let me stay connected for around 3 minutes. The following are the logs from where I make the connection and then where I get disconnected.

At one time I added access-list to our router config for security reasons however if I take them off in case it is preventing anything from getting back in, I still get disconnected after 3 minutes.
Does the first line on the teardown connection, “TCP Reset-O” mean that I was disconnected from the remote host? Does this mean that it is not on our end? Any questions let me know. Thanks in advanced for your help.
