PPTP connects and I can ping but cannot connect rdp

RouterOS General

Hey Guys,
I am beating my head against a wall here. I have a PPTP tunnel connecting a client to his office. The tunnel connects fine and he can ping his desktop but he cannot connect to it with Remote Desktop. I carried his home laptop on site at the office and RDP works fine when on the same LAN. What am I doing wrong here?

the question is clear, but with the details you have provided is impossible to reply with one solution.

Disable all firewall on all devices involved, also on the laptop, and check again

Thanks for the reply. I have done that. So to get more detailed. I setup a pptp server following the instructions given by Greg Sowell here. http://gregsowell.com/?p=680 I then could not ping the computer that I wanted to connect to. I went to my Bridge-Local interface and changed ARP from “Enable” to “proxy-arp” Now I am able to ping. My local subnet on bridge-local is 10.1.109.0/24. When I added the secret for the PPTP i set the local address to 10.1.109.20 and the remote address to 10.1.109.21. The computer that I am trying to connect to is 10.1.109.111. I am able to ping that address and I am able to tracert to it but when I try RDP it time out and says that the computer must not be on. I went to the site and plugged into the switch and I was able to RDP the computer with no issues.

LAN1 local 10.1.109.0/24

PPTP local 10.1.109.20

PPTP remote 10.1.109.21

PC on remote LAN2 10.1.109.111

I see all the address on same LAN 10.1.109.0/24

For me is best leave ARP enabled, not proxy and:

LAN1 local 10.1.110.0/24
on local router add route 10.1.109.0/24 → 10.10.10.2

PPTP local 10.10.10.1
PPTP remote 10.10.10.2

LAN2 remote 10.1.109.0/24
on remote router add route 10.1.110.0/24 → 10.10.10.1

If you want create one “VPN” really transparent, put one edge of EoIP on bridge-local and the other edge on remote bridge-local

I am only using 1 router rextended. This is a client connection. The end user is using the PPTP client that is built into windows as is shown in the video from Greg Sowell. falestiny- I am running on version 6.15.
