10.I am a PPPoE user, and I need to remove the proxy settings or the dial-up pop-up window.

If you have proxy settings, you need to disable these on your computer. Because the Router is the gateway for the Internet connection, the computer does not need any proxy settings to gain access. Please follow these directions to verify that you do not have any proxy settings and that the browser you use is set to connect directly to the LAN.

For Microsoft Internet Explorer 5.0 or higher:

A.Click Start, Settings, and Control Panel. Double-click Internet Options.

B.Click the Connections tab.

C.Click the LAN settings button and remove anything that is checked.

D.Click the OK button to go back to the previous screen.

E.Click the option Never dial a connection. This will remove any dial-up pop-ups for PPPoE users.

For Netscape 4.7 or higher:

A.Start Netscape Navigator, and click Edit, Preferences, Advanced, and Proxies.

B.Make sure you have Direct connection to the Internet selected on this screen.

C.Close all the windows to finish.
