I'm using Debian Etch, and initially used "firestarter" to set up rules 
to simply allow the ports I needed for Apache, email, FTP, etc.

But I want to set up a VPN to my home Windows Vista machine, and access 
Samba etc. over that tunnel only.

The "connect to workplace computer / VPN" option in Vista mentions pptp 
and TCP port 1723.

First, can shorewall be used to stealth all ports except those I want to 
expose for the server, as I did before; plus provide a tunnel that works 
with Vista that I can bind Samba to?

 From what I've read, I'm pretty sure it can.  But reading the various 
HOWTOs and guides, I'm totally lost.  Can someone point me to something 
specific for this kind of setup?
