Select if you wish to allow Virtual Private Connections and click Next
Select the users who will be able to dial into the connection and click Next
Select the networking components to be enabled for the connection
If you select TCP/IP select it and click Properties. You can then choose if the connector can talk to the local network and if the address is assigned by DHCP, one from a list or let the caller set their own address
Click OKClick Next and give the connection a name and click Finish
