Please refer to diagram CASE2 in the Quick Reference Guide.
PLEASE NOTE: Have your router powered on and connected directly to your PC via Ethernet Cable before you begin, as
these instructions are based on wired Ethernet connection
2. NETWORK CONFIGURATION
PPPoE connection does not require you to have an IP address or DNS settings manually encoded on your network card.
PPPoE connection uses authentication to establish the Internet connection and its after doing this that your router is assigned
an IP and DNS settings from TPG.
To begin, your PC needs to receive a private IP address from the router. Most ADSL routers have DHCP enabled by default
that will take care of this.

PLEASE NOTE:
ADSL routers will by default be capable of automatic authentication. This means your router will use your credentials you have
provided to make the Internet connection. Each time your router is powered on, it will initialize this automated authentication
process after which your router will receive a public IP address (fi xed or dynamic depending on your plan) and DNS settings
from TPG.
