How to setup PPTP service on the Android Phone.

Initial Setup:

Go to 'Settings'

Select 'Wireless Controls'

Select 'VPN Settings'

Select 'Add VPN'

Select 'Add PPTP VPN'

Enter a descriptive name at 'Set a VPN name'

Enter the server name we provide you at 'Set VPN'

Save the setting

To connect:

Go to 'Settings'

Select 'Wireless Controls'

Connect to the network name you entered above

Enter your user name and password

Click on 'Connect'

A key icon will appear indicating that you are connected

Note: There are several well documented bugs in the Android operating system that many times cause the VPN connection to fail. These bugs have persisted to some degree even in version 2.2. Because of this you may find that the connection is not always reliable on this operating system at this time. This is not a problem on the PTPP server but a result of the operating system issues on the phone.
