the procedure on how to do this.

Manually Configuring your Internet Connection

Unless your ISP assigns your configuration automatically via DHCP, you will need the configuration parameters from your ISP. For example, if your router detected a PPPoE or PPPoA service, you must provide a Login sequence in order to obtain an Internet connection from your ISP. If your ISP requires a Static IP address, then you must provide the fixed addresses for Static IP. The types of data you will need are highlighted in Table 2-1by connection method, and explained in more detail below.

The information required by each of the connection types is described in the following table.
