The following procedure tells how to create a VPN Phonebook entry for use with a corporate LAN or dial-up transport. A
VPN connection contains the IP address of a PPTP server and the user account information for that server. WebShare
allows you to create and store up to eight accounts for VPN and other types of connections.

To create a VPN connection to a server on your corporate LAN:

1.  Click My Computer > Dial-Up Networking.

2.  The Dial-Up Networking window appears. The Phonebook entry selection box lists all existing PPTP connections.

Click New to create a new connection.

3.  The New Phonebook Entry Wizard opens.

4.  Enter a name for the tunnel you are creating. The PPTP tunnel will be saved in the phonebook under this name. Click

Next.

5.  The Server window opens. Activate all the options that apply to your tunnel. Click Next.

6.  The Phone Number window opens. Enter the Phone Number of the dial-up server you are calling. (The IP address or

DNS host name of the PPTP server on your corporate LAN.)

7.  Click Next.

NOTE: Multiple Numbers. You can assign more than one phone number (IP address or DNS host name) to each entry. This
can be useful if you have a pool of host names and addresses to connect to. To do this, click Alternates.

8.  The New Phonebook Entry Wizard informs you that the new tunnel was successfully created. Click Finish. The

tunnel definition is saved and added to the Phonebook entries.

After the connection to your VPN server has been created, proceed as follows to log on:

1.  Click My Computer > Dial-Up Networking.

2.  The Dial-Up Networking window opens. In the Phonebook Selection box, select the tunnel you want to set up and

click Dial.

3.  The Connect To window appears. Enter your password for the VPN server. To save your password, click the Save

Password check box.

4.  Enter the optional information in the Domain box. (This is only required for some Microsoft NT VPN servers.) Click

OK.

5.  The Connecting to <connection name> window appears and displays the status of the connection process. Once the

connection is established, the window is minimized to the taskbar.
