I managed to get the pptp/lt2p vpn to work properly with the astaro gateway software. After I had followed all the instructions on how to setup the vpn, I still could not see my local network when connected from the client. What was interesting and ultimately led to the solution, was that from the local network, I could ping the vpn client using the assigned ip address. So it dawned on me that communication going out from the local network was being routed properly, but not the other way around. I then when to Network, NAT/Masquerading and entered a SNAT/DNAT setting to translate packets from the PPTP-pool to the local network and bingo! It worked! When I pinged a local host from the vpn client the ping passed through successfully! Whew! Finally! Took me all of two days to finally figure this out.
Here are my NAT/MASQ settings:

PPTP2_LOCAL_MASQ PPTP-Pool -> Internal (Network) / All Internal (Address) None
