a) Please turn off caps lock
b) Add walled garden IP rules that permit access to the desired IP targets. If you local network is 192.168.1.0/24 that would be something along the lines of
/ip hotspot walled-garden ip
add action=accept dst-address=192.168.1.0/24

I think I don't properly understand what you are trying to do. Please draw a network diagram and give details on what you are trying to achieve. Adding a protocol filter to the above would be pointless. If it doesn't do what you want it to do based on just IP addressing it is not going to magically start working if you reduce the rule to a subset of what already didn't work.

i dont know too but I noticed that when I disabled hotspot, pptp clients can ping the pcs on the LAN after connecting.
I think that with hotspot enabled, the pptp clients are trying to authenticate to hotspot.

Why do you have a Hotspot running? You shouldn't mix Hotspots with other authentication methods.

You can mix auth methods.. but.. why you need to access a machine that is in the other side of a hotspot..¿?! this has no sense..

You need to make a script to mantain a rule before hotspot rules that accepts PPTP before entering the hotspot rules.. but it has no sense..

why I need it is because my office LAN uses the hotspot and marketers will be connecting to the office LAN via PPTP using their laptops.

do you understand why now? please if there is another means of getting this done let me know

Maybe try setting the PPTP IPs to 'bypassed' in "/ip hotspot ip-bindings".

While in some circumstances you can mix authentication methods, bringing VPN tunnels back behind a Hotspot makes very little sense. Why do you need a Hotspot in your office? Permanent employees should just authenticate to a WPA2 protected wireless network, bringing in PPTP clients to that network is easy. Only guests should have to go through a Hotspot, and they should be a on completely separate network firewalled off from the main network.
