PPTP Encapsulation

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

Description
The PPPoE choice is for a dial-up connection using PPPoE. The
router supports PPPoE (Point-to-Point Protocol over Ethernet).
PPPoE is an IETF Draft standard (RFC 2516) specifying how a
personal computer (PC) interacts with a broadband modem (for
example, DSL, cable, or wireless) connection. Operationally, PPPoE
saves significant effort for both the end user and ISP or carrier, as it
requires no specific configuration of the broadband modem at the
customer site. By implementing PPPoE directly on the router rather
than individual computers, the computers on the LAN do not need
PPPoE software installed, since the router does that part of the task.
Further, with NAT, all of the computers on the LAN have access.
Type the PPPoE service name provided to you. PPPoE uses a
service name to identify and reach the PPPoE server.
Type the username given to you by your ISP.
Type the password associated with the username.
Select Nailed Up Connection if you do not want the connection to
time out.
This value specifies the time in seconds that elapses before the router
automatically disconnects from the PPPoE server.
