[pptp-server] routing

[Cam Bowman]

This may be a stupid question, but do you have routing (IP Forwarding) 
enabled on the linux box.  I know I had this problem before, and as soon as 
I enabled routing it worked great.

I believe the reason was that the PPTP connection is point-to-point, this 
means it's connectivity terminates on the linux server.  To hop over to the 
internal lan the linux station must forward the packet for you (acts as a 
router).

Let me know if it works.
