Dial-up Networking Entry - IPv4 Tab

Applies To: Windows Server 2008, Windows Server 2012

On the IPv4 tab, you specify the IP configuration that you want applied to clients that connect to a remote dial-up networking server by using this connection profile.

Setting Description

Server assigns addresses

Specifies that the client is configured dynamically by the server when it connects. If the addresses of the DNS and WINS servers change, then you only need change them on the server providing these to the client, so that all clients receive updated information the next time they connect.

All clients use these addresses

Specifies that the client uses the specific IP addresses entered in the text boxes below this selection. You can specify any or all of the server addresses supported, including the primary and secondary DNS servers, and the primary and secondary WINS servers. If you only need one server of a specific type, you must use the Primary text box to enter it.

If you use this option and then later you change the addresses of the DNS and WINS servers, you must change this profile, recompile it, and then redistribute it to all of your clients.

Make this connection the client's default gateway

Specifies that the client's default gateway IP address is changed when this profile connects to the remote dial-up server. After this change, the client directs all non-local subnet traffic over the dial-up connection.

Use IP header compression

Specifies that IP header compression is used over the dial-up link to make better use of the network bandwidth.
