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�
-
You have to double-click on a desktop icon other than your
browser to get on the Internet�
