IP Addresses Assigned as Part of PPP Session Setup
When a PPP session is established, your service provider’s PPP server assigns an IP address to your modem’s DSL interface. It also informs your modem of the IP addresses to which it should send DNS requests. It may be necessary to verify one of these IP addresses for a specific PPP account while troubleshooting. To view the current settings for an account:
1.Click the Edit button of the appropriate PPP account. The Configure Account dialog box appears.
2.Click the Advanced button to view the DNS and IP information.

The Advanced Configuration dialog box displays your DNS IP values. These values and the Network PPP IP only appear when a connection is established. Settings cannot be changed on the Advanced Configuration dialog box.
