I've replicated the example on my own infrastructure, but I'm getting a weird issue. My PPTP connects correctly, my bridge has been configured and the pptp ports are dynamically added as per the example. However, when attempting to ping hosts on either side of the bridge (using the winbox tools>>ping command on either router), I can only ping hosts if I specify the pptp interface to send the ping out of. If I specify any other interface (ether2 or bridge) the ping times out.. Do you know what could be the cause of this? I'm using 2 x routerOS 5.1 installations on ESX vm's.
