Raja ,
since netbios ( the way windows sees the other computers on the networks )
will not work through pptp / router
you need to have a wins server on the internal network  you pptp to.
you can set that parameter on the dialing computer using
nbns ip.of.wins.server i the mpd config file .
if you have a windows nt server on the networkj instsall a wins server on it
.
if not install samba on the bsd box and enable it's win server feature
