How do I know I am using PPPoE?

PPPoE requires a user account to login to the provider's server. If you need to configure a user name and
password on your computer to connect to the ISP you are probably using PPPoE. If you are simply
connected to the Internet when you turn on your computer, you probably are not. You can also check your
ISP or the information sheet given by the ISP. Please choose PPPoE as the encapsulation type in the
Prestige if the ISP uses PPPoE.

Why does my provider use PPPoE?
