SUMMARY

Point-to-Point Tunneling Protocol (PPTP) enables remote corporate network access through the Internet.

The PPTP service will then "tunnel" through the server connection, gaining access to corporate network servers and services, including access to Microsoft Exchange Server.

This article describes where you can get instructions on how to set up and use Point-to-Point Tunneling Protocol (PPTP).
