IPCP Negotiation Options
IP Compression
Check this box if the PPP network is permitted to negotiate the use of IP header
compression. Either Van Jacobson or IPHC header compression will be used, according
to your selection on the PPP/SLIP property page (see Chapter 2.3). If the PPP network
must not use IP header compression, leave this box unchecked.
Request DNS Server
Check this box if you will accept a primary or secondary DNS server IP address for use
by your DNS Client if offered by the network's peer. Otherwise, leave this box
unchecked. If you check this box, be sure to include the
KwikNet DNS Client by checking
the box labeled
"Use DNS Client" on the Options property page (see Chapter 2.3).
Default Gateway
The default gateway for each PPP network is usually established by checking the option
in the network's IP address definition which you access by selecting the Edit: IP Address
radio button on the Networks property page. For convenience, the default gateway option
can also be set using this PPP Options Dialog.
Check this box if you want the IP address of the foreign host to which the PPP network
interface is connected to be used as the default gateway. The default gateway will be set
after the PPP network interface has been opened and successfully connected to its peer.
Otherwise, leave this box unchecked.
