PPTP server and Windows 8.1

Hi,

I've noticed a change in behaviour with the Windows VPN client since 
upgrading to Windows 8.1.

The new VPN client has more limited IP4 options in it, as in you can 
only supply an IP address and not a netmask and gateway IP.  The result 
is that I can reach the IP range directly behind the VPN but cannot use 
it as a gateway to tunnel my other internet traffic.

Is there a way of getting the PPTP server to force a default gateway to 
be set when I log on?

pptpd still works normally when connected to from windows vista.

Any ideas or workarounds will be welcomed

Regards
