Automatically obtain

from Serve

The DNS (Domain Name Server) address will be

obtained automatically from your ISP's server.

Note: If using a fixed IP address, with no login (login is

set to "None"), then no Server is used, so this option

cannot be used.

Use this DNS

If this option is selected, you must enter the IP address

of the DNS (Domain Name Server) you wish to use.

Login

Login Method

If your ISP does not use a login method (username,

password) for Internet access, leave this at the default

value

None (Direct connection): Otherwise, check the

documentation from your ISP, select the login

method used, and enter the required data.

PPPoE: This is the most common login method,

widely used with DSL modems. Normally, your ISP

will have provided some software to connect and

not be used.

PPPoE (Unnumbered IP): This can only be used if

your ISP supports this system, and has allocated you

multiple IP addresses. If selected, you must also

select "Specified IP Address" above and enter one of

the IP addresses allocated to you by your ISP. The

other IP addresses must be assigned to PCs on your

LAN.

PPTP: This is mainly used in Europe. You need to

know the PPTP Server address as well as your name

and password.

L2TP: This is not widely used. You need to know the

PPTP Server address as well as your name and

password.

Big Pond Cable: For Australia only.
