Symptom of the same problem -- the remote client routing table needs to be
modified to include a route to your local network via the peer
(192.168.0.127). Unfortunately, PPTP doesn''t define a way for the
server to
push that type of routing information to the client like OpenVPN does so the
client''s have to be configured to add the route.
