i can connect with my pc windows7 from office and with my iphone to home router succefully.
i can connect also to router with winbox and direct ip 192.168.88.1 from my office through vpn.
but why winbox tab “neighbours” is empty when connected to my home through vpn? should not have my router ip and info? i can ping and connect to router with direct ip. but why not in neighbours list?

Hi,

according to the How-To you mentioned, ether2 is your LAN interface to which the router’s IP is assigned, right?
In this case, enable “proxy arp” on ether2.

Also make sure, the pptp client interface is enabled in IP → Neighbors.

I have tried proxy-arp with no results. I am not talking for ip -neighbors. I am talking for winbox - neighbors.
My rb2011 should appear in that list. right? or winbox does not discover through vpn?
My lan is ether6-master 192.168.88.0 and ether1 is pppoe modem in bridge mode.

Hi,

thank you for the image.

“/ip neighbor” is exactly what’s the reason you can see MikroTik devices in Winbox’s list.
Please have a look at http://wiki.mikrotik.com/wiki/Manual:IP/Neighbor_discovery.

You can change ether2’s arp setting from “proxy-arp” back to “enabled”. You use two different IP ranges for your LAN and the VPN clients, so that’s just fine. I’m still thinking the PPtP client’s interface is not enabled in “/ip neighbor” when connected.
