Bizarre thing with PPTP. Urgent (for me :-))
I'm trying to get a very basic PPTP connection into my Mikrotik RB951-2HnD. This device does PPPoE over an ADSL modem in bridge mode. - input firewall allows TCP/1723 - input firewall allows GRE - have enabled pptp-server server - have a separate PPP secret for a test user - have a separate ppp profile for the PPTP connection - no NAT rules beyond an existing "masquerade everything outbound" rule. Here's the bizarre thing. When I enable the PPTP server, my pppoe interface to the Internet goes down. If I disable the PPTP server then disable/enable the PPPoE interface, the Internet connection comes up again. Completely repeatably. What the....? Any ideas? This is semi-urgent; someone (not me) factory reset a RB750 that was happily doing PPTP, and now we are trying to recreate it from scratch and having very little luck. I'm trying to get it working on my home router and the above mystery is a bit of a showstopper.

Sounds pretty strange Karl, tried latest OS version ?? We do plenty of PPTP and PPPOE on the same routers and never seen such an issue.

was happily doing PPTP, and now we are trying to recreate it from scratch and having very little luck. I'm trying to get it working on my home router and the above mystery is a bit of a showstopper.
