8.4.3 PPTP Encapsulation
Point-to-Point Tunneling Protocol (PPTP) is a network protocol that enables secure
transfer of data from a remote client to a private server, creating a Virtual Private
Network (VPN) using TCP/IP-based networks.
PPTP supports on-demand, multi-protocol and virtual private networking over
public networks, such as the Internet.

DESCRIPTION
Type the password associated with the user name above.
Type your password again to make sure that you have entered is
correctly.
Select Nailed-Up Connection if you do not want the connection to time
out.
This value specifies the time in minutes that elapses before the router
automatically disconnects from the PPPoE server.
Select From ISP if your ISP dynamically assigns DNS server information
(and the NBG-417N's WAN IP address). The field to the right displays the
(read-only) DNS server IP address that the ISP assigns.
Select User-Defined if you have the IP address of a DNS server. Enter
the DNS server's IP address in the field to the right. If you chose User-
Defined, but leave the IP address set to 0.0.0.0, User-Defined
changes to None after you click Apply. If you set a second choice to
User-Defined, and enter the same IP address, the second User-
Defined changes to None after you click Apply.
Select None if you do not want to configure DNS servers. If you do not
configure a DNS server, you must know the IP address of a computer in
order to access it.
The MAC address section allows users to configure the WAN port's MAC
address by using the NBG-417N's MAC address, copying the MAC
address from a computer on your LAN or manually entering a MAC
address.
Select Factory default to use the factory assigned default MAC
Address.
Select Clone the computer's MAC address - IP Address and enter
the IP address of the computer on the LAN whose MAC you are cloning.
Once it is successfully configured, the address will be copied to the rom
file. It will not change unless you change the setting or upload a
different ROM file.
Select this option and enter the MAC address you want to use.
Click Apply to save your changes back to the NBG-417N.
Click Reset to begin configuring this screen afresh.
