I’ve setup a MT router that is the gateway for a home office. MT has a public IP on the WAN and DHCP Server handing out 192.168.251.X on two bridged ethernet ports on the local side. I can successfully VPN using WinXP client into the MT box, but I’m not able to access/ping machines connected to the local network. Ping speeds range in the 70-80ms which seems kind of long.
/ ip pool
add name=“DHCP_Pool” ranges=192.168.251.100-192.168.251.150
/ ip dhcp-server network
add address=192.168.251.0/24 gateway=192.168.251.1
/ ppp secret
add name=“user” service=pptp caller-id=“” password=“pswd” profile=PPtP local-address=192.168.251.10 remote-address=192.168.251.20 routes=“”

I was attempting to create the PPtP link into the MT router and have it assign IP addresses that are within the Bridged subnet (192.168.251.0/24), but not one of the DHCP Pool addresses. This is similar to one of the examples in the manual, but it doesn’t work. I’m only able to ping the 192.168.251.1 (DHCP-Bridge interface) and nothing else that is on the network which was a DHCP assigned address.
I must be missing something with the configuration. I would appreciate any help someone who knows this stuff might be able offer.
Thank you,
