In the instruction:
There is a host name instead of ip address in the instruction and I think that should not be the problem.
And in the protocol of TCP/IP property settings, the user was asked to Remove the tick before Use default gateway on remote network. Besides, in the instruction, it sets to obtain the IP address and DNS address automatically, so that I do not have such information about the server of our lab.

encryptiong: none
4. click Authorization settings to input the password.
5. Click the Advanced button. and Select Options. Verify Send all traffic over VPN connection is checked. (and is not checked ) (I tried both, none of them worked). About the other settings
