Setup the pptp connection on the windows server:

Note that setting "nodefaultroute" in the pppd options file has no effect as the windows client controls this. Change the settings on the connection adpater's properties:

one the link is up add a route to eve manually. run a cmd prompt as admin and do this:

netstat -rn

and look for the interface id of you pptp connection, than added to the route add command here:

route add 87.237.34.200 mask 255.255.255.255 0.0.0.0 IF XX
