ALTERNATE SETUP METHOD

Setting your ISP Connection Type to PPPoE

Most DSL providers use PPPoE as the connection type� If you use a DSL modem to connect to the Internet, your ISP may use PPPoE to log you into

the service� If you have an Internet connection in your home or small office that doesn’t require a modem, you may also use PPPoE�

Your connection type is PPPoE if:

- Your ISP gave you a user name and password, which is required to

connect to the Internet;

- Your ISP gave you software such as WinPOET or Enternet300 that you

use to connect to the Internet; or

- You have to double-click on a desktop icon other than your browser to

get on the Internet�

Setting Custom Domain Name Server (DNS) Settings

A “Domain Name Server” is a server located on the Internet that

translates Universal Resource Locators (URLs) like “www�belkin�com”

into IP addresses� Many Internet Service Providers (ISPs) do not require

you to enter this information into the Router� The “Automatic from ISP”

box should be checked if your ISP did not give you a specific DNS

address� If you are using a static IP connection type, then you may

need to enter a specific DNS address and secondary DNS address for

your connection to work properly� If your connection type is dynamic

or PPPoE, it is likely that you do not have to enter a DNS address�

Leave the “Automatic from ISP” box checked� To enter the DNS

address settings, uncheck the “Automatic from ISP” box and enter your

DNS entries in the spaces provided� Click “Apply Changes” to save

the settings�
