Point-to-Point Tunneling Protocol (PPTP)

Point-to-Point Tunneling Protocol is a common connection
method used for xDSL connections in Europe. It can be
used to join different physical networks using the Internet
as an intermediary.

If you have been provided with the information as shown on the
screen, enter the PPTP Account name and password, Host Name,
Service IP Address, 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.

Enter a Maximum Idle Time (in minutes) to define a maximum
period of time for which the Internet connection is maintained
during inactivity. If the connection is inactive for longer than
the Maximum Idle Time, it will be dropped. (Default: 10).

Enable the Auto-reconnect option to automatically re-establish
the connection as soon as you attempt to access the Internet
again. Click FINISH to complete the setup.

Note:

Please be aware that the setting of [Maximum Idle
Time] to "0" and/or [Auto-Reconnect] enabled can
cause an increase of your telephone bill if you don't
have signed a flatrate.
