PPTP Server Config
------------------

1) Set up a server IP address in the PPTP Server IP field. 

NOTE: This address *must not* overlap with you WRT54G
Router adresses. For example, if your router uses 
192.168.1.1, then choose a value like 10.0.1.1.

2) Set up a client IP address(es). Example, 10.0.1.10
for single client VPN access or 10.0.0.10-20 for 10 
simultaneous client access.

3) Add username:password pairs in the same format as a PPP
CHAP-Secrets file.

4) Create a VPN connection on a Windows machine to the Linksys
Router IP (i.e. 192.168.1.1). You *must* turn off the "Use
default gateway" option in Properties->Networking->TCP/IP->Advanced.

5) You're done!
