PPTP

RouterOS General
1

I am trying to setup a PPTP connection to a VLAN interface. Using a Windows XP computer I can connect using PPTP and ping the router but not any computers on the VLAN. I guess this is becuase the PPTP connection does not have the VLAN tagging.

Does anybody have VLAN and PPTP running together?

If you want to have the remote PPTP computer use an address from a subnet on the VLAN, and be able to reach machines on that VLAN, you will need to enable proxy-arp for that VLAN.

/int vlan set vlan name arp=proxy-arp

For more detail, read this: http://www.mikrotik.com/docs/ros/2.9/interface/pptp.content#5.29.6.2

I already had proxy-arp set on the VLAN but it doesn’t work.

You may also need to add a route on the windows machine, for the subnet in question.

I.e.:

C:> route -p ADD [Subnet Address] MASK [Subnet Mask] [Gateway (concentrator local IP)] IF [Interface REF#]
