Chapter 4: Setting up Internet access

4 Setting up Internet access

All computers in the LAN can take advantage of the central Internet access of
the LANCOM Wireless DSL. The connection to the Internet provider can be
established via any WAN connection, i.e. not only via DSL, but also via the
ISDN port (if present). Internet access via ISDN can be used as a backup con-
nection for DSL, for example.
Does the setup wizard know your Internet provider?
A convenient wizard is available to help you set up Internet access. The wizard
knows the access information of major Internet providers and will offer you a
list of providers to choose from. If you find your Internet service provider on
this list, you normally will not have to enter any further transfer parameters to
configure your Internet access. Only the authentication data that are supplied
by your provider are required.
Additional information for unknown Internet providers
If the setup wizard does not know your Internet provider, it will prompt you
for all of the required information step by step. Your provider will supply this
information.
