8.2.2 PPPoE

Some DSL ISPs require a username and password to get online. This type of connection method is called PPPoE or Point-to-Point Protocol over Ethernet. If you have been assigned a username and password from your ISP then you will use this Internet connection option.

Username and Password: Enter the PPPoE user name and password assigned by your Internet Service Provider.

Service Name: The Service Name is normally optional, but may be required by some service providers.

MTU: The MTU (Maximum Transmission Unit) governs the maximum size of the data packets. Leave this on the default value (1492) unless you have a particular reason to change it.

Connect on Demand: Enter a Maximum Idle Time (in minutes) to define a maximum period of time for which the Internet connection is maintained during inactivity. If the connection is inactive for longer than the Maximum Idle Time, it will be dropped.

When checked, the [Auto-reconnect] option will automatically re-establish the connection when an application attempts to access the Internet again.

WARNING: If you are using an ISP that charges based on the amount of time that you are online, disable the Auto-Reconnect option and set your Max Idle Time to 2 minutes.
