Making connections in Windows XP VPN Client

In this article I will explain step or Step by Step VPN Client to make connections in Windows XP OS (Windows 2000, Windows Vista, Windows 7, Windows 2003 Server, etc. more or less the same).
Step One: Go to Control Panel, then select Network Connection.

Second: Then we click on "New Connections Wizard" or click "File" menu and select "New Connection". Then after the show like the picture below, click on Next.

Third: Then we select Connect to the network at my workplace. Then click Next.  

Fourth: Click the Virtual Private Network Connection and click Next.

Five: Give us a name for this VPN connection, such as the XPS-2010 or you at will. Then we click Next.

Sixth: In this stage, we select "Do not dial the initial connection" and then click Next. (If Internet access Unlimited / out in this way, but if your internet access per-him-up connection of course you can customize to your internet access).

Seventh: Next we enter the IP address of our VPN server, can be a Host Name or IP Public him, for example: 125.164.75.150.

Eight: Create a VPN connection process has been completed and we click the Host Name or IP Finish.ma Public him, for example: 125.164.75.150.

The nine: Once you click Finish, the dialog will display the city below. For the first time, we go into the Properties menu first.

On the General Tab menu, looked IP VPN Server that will connect us.

Tenth: Click menu Security Tab, then uncheck "Require Data Encription". Because we do not turn this feature on Mikrotik VPN server which we have previously installed.

Eleventh: Next we KLI Menu Tab Networking. In the Type of VPN choices we select PPTP VPN. Then to his IP address we have automatic settings, so do not need the settings again. Next we click OK and ready to make a VPN connection.

NB: ... explanation is very special for you to understand (see image below). In the menu of Internet Protocol / TCP-IP and then we click then we click Advanced Properties. Well then there's the option to Use Remote Network Gateway. Now if we switch on / we check if our PC is then connected to the VPN Gateway that we need to take a VPN Gateway Server. And vice versa and this can we prove it or we track using tracert from CMD.
For instance before connecting to the VPN Server, PC we use the ISP connection Nusanet then we check with the command tracert yahoo.com then we use the Gateway visible through the access point Nusanet. Next we Connect to Server VPN using Telkom Speedy ISP, so when we check again with the command tracert yahoo.com yahoo.com address to access the connection to the access point has not passed Nusanet but through an access point Speedy. (Well, the concept of Forward Routing using the VPN as this is what many used to speed up Internet access via alternative routes).


Eleventh: Setting VPN Connection to client we're ready, we then click Connect.

Furthermore, we will see the Connecting via register / check authentication to the VPN Server.

Then after a successful authentication, the VPN Connection Status will appear to us as shown below.

And if we look at properties such connections will be seen below, the IP Address obtained (192.168.88.20) from the IP Pool that we make in Mikrotik VPN Server. While the IP address 192.168.88.250 is an IP Gateway or IP communication server for VPN Client with Mikrotik and done Interconnect with another client.

Twelfth: We have been connected with the VPN server and then can check to IP Ping other existing client in a network with Mikrotik Network (Client PC in the office network), including for access to all resources in the LAN network. Good for accessing the Websites / peripherals networking, accessing the Folder Sharing, Printer Sharing, Email Server Intranet, or use Remote Desktop, etc..

Furthermore, in the image above and below is the capture and process monitoring VPN Client connection status.

Real Action actually do alias practice much easier than just reading the theory. My advice is diligent-rajinlah reading, including various articles I read this many times and in error.
