This section describes how to create and set up PPP/PPTP Dial-Up connections for Windows NT.
NOTE: Make sure that Microsoft Service Pack 3 has been installed on your computer before creating PPTP tunnel sessions.
Installing PPTP for Windows NT
Before you create VPN connections, install the PPTP networking protocol as follows:
1. From the Windows taskbar, click Start > Control Panel > Network.
2. The Network window appears. Click the Protocol tab then click Add.
3. The Select Network Protocol window opens. Select the Point To Point Tunneling Protocol from the list. Click OK.
4. Setup will copy some Windows NT files and prompt you for the correct path. You may have to explore the Windows
CD to find the folder appropriate for your system. Specify the path and click Continue. The installation will load the
necessary PPTP files.
5. The PPTP Configuration window opens. Enter the number of connections you wish to make. For most users, this will
be one. Click OK.
6. A setup message appears. Click OK to begin configuring the RAS.
NOTE: This completes the first part of the installation, adding PPTP as a remote protocol. The remaining steps of the
installation configure the RAS for PPTP.
7. The Remote Access Setup window appears and lists the modem that is already set up. To add the new VPN ports to
RAS, click Add.
8. The Add RAS Device window appears. Each port must be added individually. To add a port, double-click on the
correct port and click OK. Repeat steps 7 and 8 for each VPN.
9. By default, the ports are configured for dial-in only. To change this, in the Remote Access Setup window, select a port
and click Configure.
10. The Configure Port Usage window opens. Select Dial-out only and click OK.
11. Repeat steps 9 and 10 for each port you wish to configure before proceeding to step 12.
12. To define which PPTP tunneled protocols you will allow through the VPNs, highlight each port and click Network.
The Network Configuration window opens. Enable the IP protocol. Click OK.
13. Click Continue, then click Close. The computer will prompt you for a restart for the changes to take effect. Click Yes.
