BroadBand dial-in clients

This section explains how you can connect to the Internet using a Broadband PPPoE dial-in application. The PPP over Ethernet connection scenario provides PPP-like dial-in behavior over the virtual Ethernet segment.

To be able to use a broadband dial-in application on your computer for connecting to the Internet, the SpeedTouch™ needs to be configured for Bridged Ethernet or Routed PPPoE (with PPPoE relay) via the SpeedTouch™ Setup wizard or the embedded Easy Setup.

To connect to the Internet you can use:

An MS Windows XP broadband dial-in client.

See “2.2.1 Using an MS Windows XP BroadBand Connection.” on page 30 for more information.

A Mac OS X broadband dial-in client.

See “2.2.2 Using the Mac OS X PPPoE Dial-in Client” on page 34 for more infor- mation.
