While pppd is involved in a PPTP VPN, it isn't really inside the scope
of PPP and this mailing list.
You should contact the poptop-server@lists.sourceforge.net mailing list
for the pptpd project. See http://poptop.org/ and the archives on
http://marc.theaimsgroup.com/?l=poptop-server
You should contact the pptpclient-devel@lists.sourcerfoge.net mailing
list for the pptp client project. See http://pptpclient.sourceforge.net/

This does not sound unusual, I've heard of such problems.

No, not a PPTP VPN server.

Don't know. Contact your router provider.
Try OpenVPN if you haven't already. It has a few features that increase
the security of the VPN, features that PPTP can never have without
breaking backward compatibility.
