Configuring Dial-Up Networking on the Windows NT-based PPTP Client

PPTP is most commonly used for enabling secure and encrypted communications to private enterprise networks via the Internet. In this scenario, the PPTP client must have two phonebook entries: one to connect to the Internet via an ISP and one to connect to a PPTP server on the target network.

However, if you are using PPTP to connect to a PPTP tunnel server on your LAN, you only need to have one phonebook entry: the PPTP server phonebook entry.

The following procedures describe how to use Dial-Up Networking to create phonebook entries for the ISP and the PPTP server.
