Configuring a VPN connection

In order to create a VPN (PPTP) connection in a Windows XP Professional workstation you have to take the following steps:

1. Press [windows]
2. Select Control Panel
3. Double click Network Connections
4. In the window Network Connections, select Create a New Connection
5. The Wizard appears to create a new connection. Select "Connect to my work area network" (refers to the VPN description), "Virtual Private Network Connection". After that select a name for the connection to be created, for example "Enterprise connection". Then you have to indicate the IP address or the full name by which IPBrickis known in the Internet. At last you have to select who can use the VPN connection.

The VPN connection is configured. In order to establish a VPN you only have to introduce the user name and password registered in IPBrick. IPBrick is now working as a VPN-PPTP server.
