DIR-100 Ethernet Broadband Router 
Setup Wizard – Configure PPTP Client Connection 
 
NOTE:  The broadband device used for your Cable or ADSL network 
connection must support PPTP pass-through so the VPN session can be 
established. 
The Router supports Point-to-Point Tunneling Protocol (PPTP) for the Internet connection. PPTP is also used 
for Virtual Private Networks (VPN). Some ISPs use PPTP to establish a client-to-server connection to their 
network, and ultimately to the Internet. If your Internet connection comes through a PPTP client connection 
to a server owned by your ISP, the IP settings and user account information must be pre-configured on the 
remote server before network access is granted. 
To configure the PPTP client connection, enter the IP and account information for the Router. Your ISP will 
give this information to you if you are establishing a PPTP connection to the ISP. Click Next to continue.
