When the Cable/DSL Internet Settings > Connection to ISP page appears
(Figure 36), you will be asked to enter the information you received from your ISP.
If you have the information and your ISP has given you an IP address, enter the IP
address, subnet mask address, and ISP Gateway address in the appropriate text
boxes.
If your ISP has given you a DNS (Domain Name Server) address, fill in those
addresses.

PPP over Ethernet connection

Figure 37 PPPoE Setup Screen
Some ISPs require the use of PPPoE in order to establish connections with their
networks. If you are unsure, you should ask your ISP whether you need to use
PPPoE.
Your ISP may need you to enter host name or PPPoE (Point-to-Point Protocol over
Ethernet) settings. To setup the Gateway for use with a PPP over Ethernet
connection, use the following procedure:
1 Select Enable on the PPP over Ethernet option to display the PPPoE Setup screen.
(Figure 37)
2 Enter your PPP over Ethernet user name in the PPPoE User Name text box.
3 Enter a password in the PPPoE Password and Confirm Password text boxes.
4 Enter your PPP over Ethernet service name in the PPPoE Service Name text box.
Not all ISPs require a PPPoE service name. Only enter a service name if your ISP
requires this.
5 Select an idle time from the Maximum Idle Time drop-down list.
This value will correspond to the amount of idle time (no Internet activity), in
seconds, that will pass before the Gateway automatically ends your PPP over
Ethernet session.
Since the Gateway firmware contains its own PPPoE client proxy, you no longer
need to run PPPoE client software on your computer to access the Internet. You
can simply start your browser and connect to the Internet immediately after
setting up your cable or DSL modem.
