PPtP issue

Hi (i dont speak very well english)

The scenario is: 3 Mikrotiks, one near me, the others phisically remote points.

I created a PPTP connection, the one near me is the server for the other two routers, local address of the server in both cases is 10.0.103.1 and the remote address is 10.0.103.2 & .3, respectively. The PPTP connection seems to work well, if i ping directly from the server router the remote ones, they reply the packets, but if i use my computer connected through the server router, i can ping 10.0.103.2 but cant ping 10.0.103.3.

Any sugerences? cant find whats going on:

Regards
:question: :question:

Does 10.0.103.3 have a route back to you? I am guessing your packets are making it to the remote destination but they are not coming back. Do some traceroutes from both locations and see where things stop - make sure you have routes to all networks.

I’ve got similar problems and they’re related to firewalling on the PPTP server (v2.9.1).

I can ping the remote PPTP server but nothing beyond it (proxy ARP is on!).

The issue is the PPTP interface isn’t created until the tunnel is active. You need a rule that allows traffic from the PPTP interface to the remote network but it’s not possible to create the rule until the tunnel is established. If I connect to the server, then create a rule then I can get to the remote network until I drop the connection. Then the rule is marked invalid.

Actually, if i log into the router, both master & remote, I can ping the other one, also if i trace the route, it goes complete. The problem is, when iam in a machine which goes through the router(master), i can reach the remote router 10.0.103.2 but cant 10.0.103.3, even when ping is replyed if i do it directly from the master router. Plus i havent made any additional configuration to addresses & routes, but the dinamic ones created when you set an PPTP conection.

I mean, i configured both remotes routers, and ive made same configuration, i think the only difference is the MT version.
Workin version is 2.8.11
Not Working version is 2.8.22
Master Version is 2.8.22
I dont know if im explaining myself. :confused:
