You shouldn't need any rule on the windows side.  It should send 192.168.10
packets over to your linux server.  If the other computers on the windows
side do not have a default route to the windows server, THEN they need
a route 192.168.10.0/255.255.255.0 to 192.168.1.1 (the windows proxy machine).

The other machines on the linux side need to either have a default route
pointing to the pptp server or a 192.168.1.x route.

route add -net 192.168.1.0/24 gw 192.168.10.160
