Description
PPPoE
Choose this option if your ISP uses PPPoE (Point-to-Point
Protocol over Ethernet).
Enter the User Name and Password for your ISP account
and the Service Name if required by your ISP. Select either
the Connect on Demand or Keep Alive option.
Connect on Demand
Opens a connection only when a user attempts to connect
to the Internet. The connection automatically terminates if
there is a period of inactivity longer than the specified Max
Idle Time (in minutes). We recommend this option if your
billing is based on the time that you are connected.
NOTE
PCs often send information to the Internet even if email or
a web browser is not being used. This may keep the session
connected for longer than expected.
Keep Alive
Keeps you connected to the Internet indefinitely, even when
your connection sits idle.
PPTP
Select this option if your ISP uses PPTP (Point to Point
Tunneling Protocol).
Enter the PPTP Server IP address and the User Name and
Password for your account.
If your service provider does not dynamically assign an IP
address, disable DHCP and enter the address, mask and
gateway details provided for your account.
Select either the Connect on Demand or Keep Alive
option.
