5
follows:
• Can be a fully-qualified domain name 'host.domain.com'.
• Each label (host or domain) can consist of alphabetic, numeric or hyphen '-' characters.
• Each label cannot begin or end with the hyphen '-' character.
• Can be an IP address in the form a.b.c.d
[Optional] Enter a Windows domain name in the Domain field to use for authentication with the server.

Enter a username in the Username field to use when logging in to the remote VPN. You may need to
7
obtain the username and password information from the system administrator of the remote PPTP server.
The username cannot start with @.
Enter the password in the Password field to use when logging in to the remote VPN. The password can
8
be one or more characters of any type.
Enter the password again in the Confirm Password field.

[Optional] To indicate which packets should go the remote network, enter a netmask number between 0
10
and 32 in the Subnet Mask for Remote network field. The netmask can also be written in the form
255.255.255.0.
Tip: When you configure the Subnet Mask for Remote network, the PPTP Client connection automatically adds
a route to a remote network based on the IP address it receives from the server. This is useful if you have
services other than the remote PPTP server you want to access using the PPTP tunnel. It is recommended to
set this value of the network mask to the remote network.
You can also configure additional static routes accessible over the PPTP client VPN. Do not specify a gateway,
and select the PPTP client connection in the Interface field. For more information on static routes, see
a static route.
