Virtual Private Networks (VPN) 10-79
The IP Profile Parameters screen appears.
■
Enter the Remote IP Address and Remote IP Mask for the host to which you want to tunnel.
Note: A peculiarity associated with VPNs is that when a PAC has NAT applied to a Connection Profile set for
PPTP data link encapsulation, the PNS and devices behind it, cannot Ping the PAC’s tunnel end-point IP
address. This is because ICMP packets have no por t association, and thus will be discarded rather than being
processed by NAT.
Ordinarily, Ping is an excellent troubleshooting tool, but it will not be effective in this circumstance. Instead, use
another TCP- or UDP-based network ser vice for troubleshooting. Since the Netopia Router is capable of ser ving
Telnet and HTTP, we recommend using these ser vices instead of Ping.

Encr yption is a method for altering user data into a form that is unusable by anyone other than the intended
recipient. The recipient must have the means to decr ypt the data to render it usable to them. The encr yption
process protects the data by making it difficult for any third par ty to get at the original data.
Netopia PPTP is fully compatible with Microsoft Point-to-Point Encr yption (MPPE) data encr yption for user data
transfer over the PPTP tunnel. Microsoft Windows NT Ser ver provides MPPE encr yption capability only when
Microsoft Challenge Handshake Authentication Protocol (MS-CHAP) is enabled. Netopia complies with this
feature to allow MPPE only when MS-CHAP is negotiated. MS-CHAP and MPPE are user-selectable options in the
PPTP Tunnel Options screen. If either the client or the ser ver side specifies encr yption, then encr yption
becomes mandator y for both.
Netopia’s ATMP implementation suppor ts Data Encr yption Standard (DES) data encr yption for user data
transfer over the ATMP tunnel between two Netopia routers. The encr yption option, None or DES, is a selectable
option in the ATMP Tunnel Options screen.
