In some cases, the remote clients can just be configured to use the PPTP
tunnel as their default route which will also solve this problem.

As I recall, when you can''t take that approach then it''s a
manual process to
configure routing. I seem to remember having a .com file to set up my routing
after I connected to home via PPTP -- I''ve been using OpenVPN for so
long
that I''m a little fuzzy on the details of PPTP (you probably noticed
that I''m
no longer trying to maintain the PPTP document because I simply don''t
have
the time to keep up with that VPN type).
