LABEL	DESCRIPTION
ISP Parameters for Internet Access
Encapsulation	The PPP over Ethernet choice is for a dial-up connection using PPPoE.
	The NBG-460N supports PPPoE (Point-to-Point Protocol over Ethernet).
	PPPoE is an IETF Draft standard (RFC 2516) specifying how a personal
	computer (PC) interacts with a broadband modem (i.e. xDSL, cable,
	wireless, etc.) connection. Operationally, PPPoE saves significant effort
	for both the end user and ISP/carrier, as it requires no specific
	configuration of the broadband modem at the customer site. By
	implementing PPPoE directly on the router rather than individual
	computers, the computers on the LAN do not need PPPoE software
	installed, since the router does that part of the task. Further, with NAT,
	all of the LAN's computers will have access.
Service Name	Type the PPPoE service name provided to you. PPPoE uses a service
	name to identify and reach the PPPoE server.
User Name	Type the user name given to you by your ISP.
Password	Type the password associated with the user name above.
