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.
