8.2.1 Preparing the PC for PPTP Tunneling
Most, if not all OSs provide a Graphical User Interface (GUI)
guided procedure for the initial creation of a PPTP connection
icon.
The result of such creation is in most cases an icon or entry in a
folder or a table called 'RAS', 'DialUp Networking', 'PPTP', 'Call
sessions', 'Remote Access', etc.
During the initial configuration of your PPTP connection icon, you
must provide the following parameters:
A name for the PPTP connection icon
The VPN server's IP address or DNS hostname, i.e. the
STPro's IP address or DNS hostname
Optionally, you can complete this entry with
The VC's PPTP phonebook name - configured on your STPro
- to be used for this connection.
Note: Only in case multiple PPTP phonebook entries are directed towards
different destinations, you must add the appropriate phonebook name to
the dialstring. This allows the STPro to open the session to the correct
specific destination. In case all PPTP phonebook entries are directed
towards the same destination, it is better not to add a phonebook name to
the dialstring.
