Step 1
Press the "Start" menu icon on your handheld PDA keypad. A vertical list of applications and programs should appear. Access the "Settings" folder and press the "Connections" or "WiFi" icon. (Icon names will vary depending on your PDA model.) A group of accessibility and network communication icons will appear.

Step 2
Press the "Connections" icon to configure new settings for a new connection. Select the "Add a New VPN Server Connection" option. Name your connection host. Enter the IP address for your WiFi communication link. The last portion of the screen will display two VPN type options.

Step 3
Change your VPN type to "PPTP". Press the "Next" tab at the bottom of your screen. The next screen will prompt you to authenticate your connections. Leave the options to authenticate your IPSec / L2TP connections the same. Do not change anything on this page. Your settings should be set to "A certificate on this device."

Step 4
Press "Next" at the bottom of your screen. You will be prompted to enter a username, password and domain. All of this information will be provided by your network administrator.
