About Mobile VPN with PPTP
6. When a PPTP user connects to the Edge, the Edge must assign that user’s computer an available IP
address from the network the user wants to connect to. Type the first IP address in the address pool
the Edge can use to assign PPTP user IP addresses in the Start of IP address pool field. The Edge gives
out this IP address to the first PPTP user that connects. The Edge increments the IP address by 1 and
assigns an address to each subsequent PPTP user that connects (up to 10 users).
The IP address that you set as the start of the IP address pool must be the first of ten sequential IP
addresses available and identified on your Edge as part of the trusted or optional network.
Configure DNS and WINS settings
The Domain Name Service (DNS) changes host names into IP addresses. The Windows Internet Naming
Service (WINS) changes NetBIOS names to IP addresses. By default, PPTP users that connect to the Edge use
the WINS and DNS servers identified on the Network > Trusted page of your Edge configuration.
If you want to specify a different WINS or DNS server, add it in the DNS Server and WINS Server IP Address
text boxes in the last section of the Mobile User page.
