12.8 Network Configuration: PPPoE
Point-to-Point Protocol over Ethernet (PPPoE) functions as a dial-up connection. PPPoE is an
IETF (Internet Engineering Task Force) draft standard specifying how a host personal
computer interacts with a broadband modem (for example DSL, cable, wireless, etc.) to
achieve access to high-speed data networks. It preserves the existing Microsoft Dial-Up
Networking experience and requires no new learning or procedures.
Use the following screen to set your Prestige to use PPPoE for your Internet connection.You
must have a user name (PPPoE username) and password from you ISP.
