you most likely 

a) do not have ip_forwarding enabled (echo 1 > /proc/sys/net/ipv4/ip_forward)

b) have a routing problem. check your routing tables

  Well I've tried to connect to Samba shares and that doesn't work over the VPN, so I put that aside and simply tried to ping.  From all outward appearances, I'm connected, but I still cannot ping either machine.  So I'm having two problems, but I think the first to be solved is Why does it appear I have a connection, but it doesn't work?

    what exactly is the problem you are having? resolving samba shares by name? getting pptp to connect?

      I've been working on getting the PPTP VPN operational for days now and I can't seem to get it quite right.  I may be missing something obvious, but I thought I'd through it out and see if a few other set of eyes would help.
       
      Where I'm at...
      Server running pptpd, smbd, nmbd @ a.b.c.d - pppd configured to use 192.168.15.91-94 local 192.168.16.91-94 remove
       
      Client #1 running Win 98, ethernet card @ a.b.c.d+4 
       
      Client #2 running Win 98, ethernet card @ 192.168.255.2 through NAT @ w.x.y.z
       
      Both clients appear to connect to the server via PPTP, however ping does not appear to work.
       
      In the case of Client #1, I can ping a.b.c.d without problem since were on the same net, I cannot ping 192.168.15.91
       
      In Client #2, I cannot ping a.b.c.d or 192.168.15.91
       
      I want to have Samba work also so I know the addresses need to change.  I don't believe there are any firewalls in place right now.
       
      Here are the ppplog from windows and pptpd.log - Anyone got any thoughts as to what I'm doing wrong?
