Chapter 4 - Connecting to the Internet
Now that the driver software has been installed, you are ready to establish a connection to the Internet.
The connection from your computer to the Internet is actually an indirect connection. You must first get
connected to the computers that control the connection to the larger network or Internet. Usually, the
ADSL service provider or ISP own the servers that control network access. Follow the instructions for the
driver (CLIP, EoA, PPPoE or PPPoA) you have installed and the operating system you use on your
computer.
If you have installed the PPPoE or PPPoA driver, you are using PPP to connect to your network service
provider. The procedure you follow will be familiar if you have ever installed a dial-up modem. The EoA
driver requires additional PPP client software (usually provided by your ADSL service provider) to
establish and manage the ADSL connection.
Connect with PPPoE and PPPoA Drivers
For PPP connections you simply double-click on the Modem icon and type in your network access user
name and password, just as if you were using a conventional analog dial-up modem.
Windows 98SE, 2000, ME and XP (PPPoA and PPPoE driver)
1. Double-click the icon "DSL-210 Dialup" on the Desktop.
2. The "Connect D-Link DSL-210 Dialup" dialog box appears. Type in the User name and Password
given to you by your ADSL service provider or ISP. Computers on the ISP's network use this
information to confirm the identity of your account. Click "Dial".
