Thanks to DoC_DaR in this thread for this guide.

On DD-WRT, go to the Administration->Services and set PPTP server to active, save the changes, then set the IP of router (192.168.1.1) for the server IP, and under Client IP(s) set a range for connections. (192.168.1.20-29 for example of a ten client set up)

Under Chap Secret put in username * password * for example: testmachine * password1234 * ( The "*" are NOT a Placeholder, they must be there ! ) Use no capital letters.


Now on your PC select Create new Connection under Control Panel -> Network Connections. Select Connect to Network at my Workplace, then select Virtual Private Connection, give it a name (home link). Select what applies, dial up or LAN. Type the WAN IP address of your router, it must be static address or an address through DynDNS.org or the likes. (Thanks loxza)

Then at connect window, type the username and password you used earlier under Chap Secret (in our example: testmachine:password1234). Use no capital letters.

If you have Problems to see your Neighbourhood or Programs like VNC,Remote Desktop are not working, than you should Disable the Loopback Adapter under Management.asp in your Router.

With this Option you are full inside the Routers Network, all Traffic include your Surfing is than over your VPN Connect. With both Settings, you are full integrated in the Remote Lan.

Good Luck.
