Setting PPTP Client Fields
User Name 
Type the User Name for the client that will be used to authenticate with the 
PPTP server (usually supplied by the ISP). 
Password 
Type a Password  (more than three characters) for the client. This is used to 
authenticate with the PPTP server and is usually supplied by the ISP. 
Protocol 
In the Protocol  drop down list, select the Protocol  to be used for 
authentication with the PPTP server. Protocol options are: None, PAP and 
CHAP.
Dial IP or ISP Name 
To identify the PPTP server, type the IP address in the Dial IP field, OR type the 
DNS name of the PPTP service in the ISP Name field.
Keep DNS and Gateway 
In most cases PPTP authentication supplies the client with some valid DNS 
addresses and makes the PPPoE interface the default system gateway. To set a 
static DNS address and/or a default gateway, or leave another application to 
configure them, (e.g. DHCP client), select the Keep DNS and Gateway check 
box.
Authenticator 
Some PPTP servers require an Authenticator  field called to establish a PPTP 
connection. This name usually is provided by ISPs. 
Enable on Demand 
Enable on demand is a feature which enables the functionality of creating a PPTP 
connection only when there is IP traffic on a PPTP interface. Some ISPs offer 
connection agreements where charging depends on time. In these cases this 
feature could be valuable. 
Select the Enable on Demand check box, and then type a time period 
(seconds) into the Demand Time field. If a PPTP connection remains idle for 
this period, the connection closes until you try to use it again (probably from a 
PC behind the router). 
Current Status 
When you click the Refresh button the Current Status field displays information 
on the current connection (whether there is a connection or the reason for an 
unsuccessful attempt to connect).
