To setup the Router for use with a PPTP connection, use the following
procedure:
1 Select PPTP (used by some European providers) in the IP Allocation Mode
field. ( Figure 50 )
2 Enter your PPTP server address in the PPTP Server Address text box (this is
typically the address of your modem).
3 Enter your PPTP user name in the PPTP User Name text box.
4 Enter your password in the PPTP Password text box.
5 Enter your Primary DNS Address and Secondary DNS address .
Your ISP may provide you with primary and secondary DNS addresses. If
they have been provided, enter the addresses in the appropriate text
boxes. If not, leave
0.0.0.0 in the boxes.
6 Enter the MTU value supplied by your ISP. If you do not know this, leave it
at the default value. The default is 1460.
7 Select an idle time from the Maximum Idle Time drop-down list.
This value will correspond to the amount of idle time (no Internet activity)
that will pass before the Router automatically ends your PPTP session.
8 IP settings must be used when establishing a PPTP connection. To obtain
an IP address, either:
■
Check the Get IP By DHCP check box, if you want to obtain an IP
address from a DHCP Server on the network.
With this check box enabled, you can click Release to release the WAN
IP Address for the Router, or click Renew to renew the current WAN IP
Address, using DHCP.
■
Fill in the Initial IP Address, Initial Subnet Mask and Initial Gateway
fields if your ISP has provided you with these settings. Alternatively, if
the PPTP server is located in your DSL modem, click
Suggest to select
an IP address on the same subnet as the PPTP server.
Check all of your settings, and then click Apply .
