Chapter 4 - Connecting to the Internet

Now that the driver software has been installed, you are ready to establish a connection to the Internet. The connection from your computer to the Internet is actually an indirect connection. You must first get connected to the computers that control the connection to the larger network or Internet. Usually, the ADSL service provider or ISP own the servers that control network access. Follow the instructions for the driver (CLIP, EoA, PPPoE or PPPoA) you have installed and the operating system you use on your computer.

If you have installed the PPPoE or PPPoA driver, you are using PPP to connect to your network service provider. The procedure you follow will be familiar if you have ever installed a dial-up modem. The EoA driver requires additional PPP client software (usually provided by your ADSL service provider) to establish and manage the ADSL connection.

Connect with PPPoE and PPPoA Drivers

For PPP connections you simply double-click on the Modem icon and type in your network access user name and password, just as if you were using a conventional analog dial-up modem.
