ISP Connection Type: PPPoE

PPPoE stands for “Point to Point Protocol over Ethernet,” often used by DSL service providers. Select Dynamic PPPoE to obtain an IP address automatically for your PPPoE connection (the option most often used). Select Static PPPoE to use a static IP address for your PPPoE connection.

User Name: Enter the user name required by your ISP when you connect to the Internet.

Password: Enter the password required by your ISP when you connect to the Internet.

Service Name (optional): If your ISP uses a service name for the PPPoE connection, enter the

service name here. (Example: @att.net)

IP Address: If you choose Static PPPoE, enter the static IP address for the PPPoE connection.

Primary/Secondary DNS Address: If you choose Static PPPoE, ask your Internet Service Provider for your primary and secondary DNS addresses (also called IP numbers) and enter them here.

Maximum Idle Time: (Default 0) To avoid periodic disconnection from the Internet, leave this value set to zero. To allow your computer to disconnect after a period of inactivity, enter the time in minutes. (For example, enter 10 to disconnect 10 minutes after you’ve stopped using the computer.)

MTU: (Default 1492) Data sent over networks is divided into “packets” of a certain size. MTU (Maximum Transfer Unit) specifies the largest packet size to be used. This value typically does not need to be changed. Do not change it unless advised to do so by your Internet Service Provider.

Auto-reconnect:(Default On) If your computer remains connected to the Internet most or all of the time, this setting will automatically re-establish your Internet connection whenever it is dropped.
