PPTP Connected but cannot access other PCs

RouterOS General
1

I have setup a PPTP server using version 3.7. (1 NIC only, 192.168.1.50/24)
I have mapped TCP 1723 through my firewall (along with GRE).
I can connect remotely to my PPTP server. (connect and receive address 192.168.1.60)
I can ping the server’s IP address from remote client. (ping 192.168.1.50 from 192.168.1.60)
I can ping the client’s IP address from the server (telnet). (ping 192.168.1.60 from 192.168.1.50)
I cannot ping any other address on the subnet from the client. (cannot ping 192.168.1.1, or 106 from 192.168.1.60)
I can ping other addresses on the subnet from the server (telnet). (ping 192.168.1.1 and 106 from 192.168.1.50)

What is the deal? It is like the remote connection can only see the server. I only need the VPN connection to be able to use resouces on my server’s local subnet (not route out to the internet).

Any ideas would be appreciated.
Everything else in my config is default.
I used the example from the manual on connecting to a remote office.

Okay. I rebooted the mikrotik router and the problem went away (weird).

You either need proxy arp or put your ppp on another subnet. Think about it - anyone on the LAN isnt going to use the gateway for your IP since its on the same subnet. So, they ARP for your IP directly, but your no listening because your behind the router.

The best solution is to put your PPP on a different subnet. The second best solution is to turn on proxy-arp.

How exactly do you enable the proxy-arp for PPTP? Do you just enble it on all interfaces on the RouterBOARD?

Either on the bridge or on the Ethernet interface that connects to your local LAN.
