Chapter 4 Connection Wizard

By implementing PPPoE directly on the NBG-460N (rather than individual computers), the computers on the LAN do not need PPPoE software installed, since the NBG-460N does that part of the task. Furthermore, with NAT, all of the LAN's computers will have Internet access.

Refer to the appendix for more information on PPPoE.

4.4.3 PPTP Connection

Point-to-Point Tunneling Protocol (PPTP) is a network protocol that enables transfers of data from a remote client to a private server, creating a Virtual Private Network (VPN) using TCP/IP-based networks.

PPTP supports on-demand, multi-protocol, and virtual private networking over public networks, such as the Internet.

Refer to the appendix for more information on PPTP.
