Point-to-Point Tunneling Protocol (PPTP)
Point-to-Point Tunneling Protocol (PPTP) can be used to join different
physical networks using the Internet as an intermediary. Using the above
screen allows client PCs to establish a normal PPTP session and
provides hassle-free configuration of the PPTP client on each client PC.
Enter the PPTP user ID, Password, Host Name and Service IP
address, and then the assigned IP address and subnet mask (usually
supplied by your ISP), Figure 38.
The MTU (Maximum Transmission Unit) governs the maximum size of
the data packets. Leave this on the default value (1460) unless you have
a particular reason to change it.
Enter a maximum Idle Time Out (in minutes) to define a maximum
period of time for which the PPTP connection is maintained during
inactivity. If the connection is inactive for longer than the Maximum Idle
Time, it will be dropped.
Enable the Auto-reconnect option to automatically re-establish the
connection as soon as you attempt to access the Internet again.
