DESCRIPTION
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. The NBG318S supports only one PPTP server
connection at any given time.
To configure a PPTP client, you must configure the User Name and
Password fields for a PPP connection and the PPTP parameters for a PPTP
connection.
Type the user name given to you by your ISP.
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 seconds that elapses before the NBG318S
automatically disconnects from the PPTP server.
Select this option If your ISP did not assign you a fixed IP address. This is the
default selection.
Select this option If the ISP assigned a fixed IP address.
Type the (static) IP address assigned to you by your ISP.
Your NBG318S will automatically calculate the subnet mask based on the IP
address that you assign. Unless you are implementing subnetting, use the
subnet mask computed by the NBG318S.
Type the IP address of the PPTP server.
Type your identification name for the PPTP server.
Select this option If your ISP did not assign you a fixed IP address. This is the
default selection.
Select this option If the ISP assigned a fixed IP address.
Enter your WAN IP address in this field if you selected Use Fixed IP
Address.
Enter the remote IP address (if your ISP gave you one) in this field.
