1. PHYSICAL CONNECTION
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 once connected your modem will be
assigned an IP and DNS settings from TPG.
To begin, your PC needs to receive a private IP address from the router. Most routers have DHCP enabled by default that
will take care of this.
To ensure your Network Card is ready for this, please follow the following steps:
A. Click Start -> Control Panel -> Network and Internet ->
Network and Sharing Center -> Change adapter settings
B. Right click on Local Area Connection and select Properties
