NOTE: PPTP cannot be used concurrently with PPPoE or Static IP. If your DD-WRT router WAN Connection Type settings are configured with PPPoE or Static IP, you must change Connection Type to Automatic Configuration - DHCP. The WAN port on the DD-WRT router must be directly connected to Ethernet port, or LAN port on a modem (which provides internet connection) for this setup to work properly.

MODEM [LAN] port =============> ROUTER [WAN] port


STEP 1 - Disable SPI Firewall

Goto: DDWRT => Security => Firewall => http://192.168.1.1/Firewall.asp

Under Firewall Protection for SPI Firewall, select Disable, and click Save button.
