Configuring a PPPoE connection

If your ISP has allocated you a dynamic address using PPPoE you will have selected PPPoE (PPP over Ethernet) as your IP Allocation Mode.

Figure 36 PPPoE Setup Screen

Your ISP may need you to enter host name or PPPoE settings. To setup the Gateway for use with a PPPoE connection the following fields will need to be completed:

■IP Address — The internet address allocated by your ISP for this connection is automatically configured and is not editable.

■PPPoE User Name — The user name you use to access your ISP.

■PPPoE Password — The password you use to access your ISP.

■PPPoE Service Name — Your ISP may require you to specify a service name for your connection.

■Primary DNS Address — The address of your ISP’s Domain Name Service server is automatically configured and is not editable.

■Secondary DNS Address — The address of your ISP’s secondary Domain Name Service server. The second server is optionally provided by an ISP in case of failure of the primary server.

■Host Name — The Host Name of your computer may be required by your ISP.

■Maximum Idle Time — The amount of time without activity before the Gateway terminates the Internet connection.

Since the Gateway firmware contains its own PPPoE client, you no longer need to run PPPoE client software on your computer to access the Internet. You can simply start your browser and connect to the Internet immediately after setting up your cable or DSL modem.
