Thanks to Steve Cowles,Marcus Rapp and Jason Shakelford for their help, but 
we still need a little more. I have a picture of the connection we are 
implementing.

	                 PC
			|192.168.129.2
			|
			|
	|_______________|__________|
		|
		|
		|192.168.129.1		192.168.29.102
	Linux pptp client........................
		|195.77.129.64			.
		|				.
	________|________			.
	/		\			.
	|		|			.
	|  INTERNET	|			. PPTP conection
	|		|			.
	\_______________/			.
		|				.
		|195.77.129.59			.
	Linux pptp server........................
		|			192.168.29.100
		|
		|192.168.29.0
	|_______|_______________|
	   |................|


The routes done are:

   Linux pptp client: route add -net 192.168.29.0 netmask 255.255.255.0 gw 
192.168.29.100

   Linux pptp server: route add -net 19.168.129.0 netmask 255.255.255.0 gw 
192.168.29.102

After this, we can make pings from linux pptp client to the PC and to the 
192.168.29.0 intranet, but we cannot make ping from linux pptp server to the 
PC and from the PC to linux pptp server neither 192.168.29.0 Intranet.

Any ideas?

Thanks
