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�

-

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

browser to get on the Internet�
