Note: If you are on a leased line or pay-per min. connection,
please set your maximum idle time to 3 minutes. This
will cause your Internet connection to drop after 3
minutes of idle time so you won’t be charged for extra
online time from your ISP.
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 Account, Password, Host Name, and then
Service IP Address (usually supplied by your ISP), the assigned
IP address, and subnet mask.
Leave the Maximum Transmission Unit (MTU) at the default
value (1460) unless you have a particular reason to change it.
