First thing to check is if you added a routing entry for the internal network.
PPTP by default only adds a route to the internal ip of the pptp gateway, that is if the pptp server gives you a 192.168.1.2 and it has a 192.168.1.1, there will be only a route to 192.168.1.1, you need to add a route of 192.168.1.0/24 yourself. If you remove the default gateway route and don't place some other route on which the tcp/gre packets can travel the link will die when the ppp process will send an LCP echo request and receive an ICMP unreachable error packet. After you connect with pptp check what routes you have, you need to have one route on the ppp+ link, you can then try to ping the internal ip of the pptp server, this should work (ping 192.168.1.1, with the numbers above). If it doesn't work, there is probably a firewall on that pptp server that prevents it from answering your icmp packets. If it did work just add the route for the internal network over the ppp+ link and you should be able to access any non-firewalled computer on the internal network.
