Need some help with PPTP VPN configuration

RouterOS Beginner Basics
1

I am a new MikroTik user, my employer has a MikroTik RouterBoard (not sure of the exact model, but I think it’s a RB493) which was set up to share one Internet connection with another company. We would like to configure VPN so that we can access our network remotely. I recently attended the USA MikroTik User Meeting 2009 and received a RouterBoard RB750 which I have installed on my home network so that I can learn how to use it.

I have configured my RB750 for PPTP VPN, and I am able to successfully connect to the VPN, however I cannot ping/access any resources other than the router over the VPN connection.

I have attached a screenshot of my config.

What am I missing in order to be able to get access to devices on my home network? Once I have this working, I will need to apply what I have learned to my company’s router, so I may have more questions once I get this resolved.

Thanks in advance!

I figured out what I missed thanks to this article: http://www.mikrotik.com/testdocs/ros/3.0/vpn/pptp.php
Specifcally, this section:

Finally, the proxy APR must be enabled on the ‘Office’ interface:

[admin@RemoteOffice] interface ethernet> set Office arp=proxy-arp
[admin@RemoteOffice] interface ethernet> print
Flags: X - disabled, R - running

NAME MTU MAC-ADDRESS ARP

0 R ToInternet 1500 00:30:4F:0B:7B:C1 enabled
1 R Office 1500 00:30:4F:06:62:12 proxy-arp
[admin@RemoteOffice] interface ethernet>

Now I am able to access devices via IP address, but not NetBIOS name.

Just found this:

Thanks!
