ok, assuming your local net is 192.168.81.0/24 and your remote side of the
pptp connection is being assigned 192.168.81.101, do:

ipchains -P forward DENY
ipchains -A forward -s 192.168.81.0/24 -d 192.168.81.101 -j ACCEPT
ipchains -A forward -s 192.168.81.101 -d 192.168.81.0/24 -j ACCEPT

see if that helps
