To create a VPN connection across the Internet, you must set up two networking connections. One connection is for the ISP and the other connection is for the VPN tunnel to the Tripp Lite console server. Note: This procedure sets up a PPTP client in the Windows 7 Professional operating system. The steps may vary slightly depending on your network access or if you are using an alternate version of Windows. More detailed instructions are available from the Microsoft web site. Log in to your Windows client with administrator privileges. From the Network & Sharing Center on the Control Panel, select Network Connections and create a new connection. Select Use My Internet Connection (VPN) and enter the IP Address of the Tripp Lite console server. Note: To connect remote VPN clients to the local network, you need to know the user name and password for the PPTP account you added, as well as the Internet IP address of the Tripp Lite console server. If your ISP has not allocated you a static IP address, consider using a dynamic DNS service. Otherwise, you must modify the PPTP client configuration each time your Internet IP address changes. 71
