Point-to-Point Protocol over

Ethernet (

PPPoE

) functions as a

dial-up connection. Therefore you’ll

also need a username and

password and possibly the PPPoE

service name. Your ISP will give

you all needed information.

Select

Nailed Up Connection

if

you do not want the connection to

the PPPoE server to time out.

Otherwise, enter the number of

seconds to elapse before the

ZyWALL disconnects from the

server in the

Idle Timeout

field.

The default value is 100 seconds.

Enter “0” to prevent the connection

from timing out.

Click

Choose

PPTP

if your service

provider uses a DSL terminator

with PPTP login. The ZyWALL

must have a static IP address (

My

IP Address

) in this case, and

possibly a subnet mask (

My IP

Subnet Mask

) if provided by your

ISP.

You’ll also need a username,

associated password, and the DSL

terminator IP address (

Server IP

Address

). If your ISP has provided

a connection ID name, enter it in

the

Connection ID/Name

field.

See the PPPoE encapsulation

above for information on the

Nailed Up Connection

and

Idle

Timeout

fields.

Click

Step 3.

Fill in the fields and click

Finish

to save and complete the wizard setup.

if your ISP did not

assign you a fixed IP

address. Select

Use fixed

IP address

if the ISP

and then enter your IP

address and subnet mask

in the next two fields. Enter

the gateway IP address in

this field (if provided) when

you select

Use Fixed IP

Address

.

DNS Server Assignment

Select

From ISP

if your ISP

dynamically assigns DNS

server information (and the

ZyWALL's WAN IP

address).

Select

if you

have the IP address of a

DNS server.

Select

None

if you do not

want to configure DNS

servers.

WAN MAC Address

Select

Factory Default

to use the factory assigned default MAC address. Alternatively, select

Spoof this

Computer's MAC address - IP Address

and enter the IP address of the computer on the LAN whose MAC address

you are cloning.

4.3 Test Your Internet Connection

as Dial Up Networking. Internet access is just the beginning. Refer to the

for more

detailed information on the complete range of ZyWALL features. If you cannot access the Internet,

open the web configurator again to confirm that the WAN settings you configured in the Wizard

Setup are correct.

Refer to the Troubleshooting section if you have trouble logging in.
