7.3. DHCP Options

Configure the client's use of DHCP options - a number of standard options are already set out in a list and

can be enabled. User-defined options can be set up in a list of your own and managed there.

7.4. Virtual Private Network - VPN

Remote users securely access company networks via virtual private network protocols (VPN). You can set

up your client accordingly for this purpose.

PPTP (point-to-point tunneling protocol) is one of the most common virtual private network (VPN)

protocols allowing remote users to securely access company networks.

Automatically establishing a connection during the boot procedure

In order to set up a client which is fully configured to automatically establish a connection, you may need to

dial up first.

Enable this option before the desktop is launched. 1.

The client connects to the host.

Click on Add to set up new connections. 2.

Configure the necessary settings in order to dial up the RAS server on the desired remote station. 3.

Select the network device and specify whether a dial-up connection is to be used. 4.

Specify on the Options tab the name service and the IP configuration for the PPTP connection. 5.

These data will normally be transferred from the remote station's RAS server. This means that both

DNS and IP address will be set to automatic by default.

You can set up additional network routes on the next three setup pages (Routing).
