PPtP Client issues on ReadyNas Duo

There shouldn't be any need to use iptables on the readynas, it works just fine without it. I suspect your problem is on your client side since it works from windows.
The tools you'll want are traceroute on your client side, and tcpdump on the readynas. Using tcpdump you should be able to see if packets from the client are arriving. You need to determine if it's the client packets that aren't making it to the readynas, or the server responses that aren't making it back to the client. Since you'll be remotely logged in to the readynas, you'll want to run tcpdump with a host filter to filter out your ssh traffic, like 'host not <where I logged in from>'.
