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
explained in more detail below.
The information required by each of the connection types is described in the following table.

To configure your Internet connection:
1. Enter your ISP Login information. Select the Does Your Internet Connection require a
Login? option based on the type of account your have with your ISP. If you need to enter login
information every time you connect to the Internet, select Yes. Otherwise, select No.
If your connection is PPTP or PPPoE, then you need to login. Choose Yes and enter:
– Login. This is often the name that you use in your e-mail address (for example, if your
main mail account is jdoe@aol.com, enter jdoe).
