PPPoE Setup
PPPoE (Point-to-Point Protocol over Ethernet) is a specification for connecting
multiple computer users on an Ethernet local area network to a remote site through
common customer premises equipment. PPPoE provides the ability to connect
a network of hosts over a simple bridging access device to a remote Access
Concentrator.
Many apartment houses, hotels, and corporations are now providing shared
Internet access over DSL lines using Ethernet and PPPoE.
Obtain the PPoE settings information (user ID and password) from your Internet
