Setting your ISP Connection Type to Dynamic IP
A  dynamic  connection  type  is  the  most  common  connection  type 
found  with  cable  modems.  Setting  the  connection  type  to  dynamic  in 
many  cases  is  enough  to  complete  the  connection  to  your  ISP.  Some 
dynamic  connection  types  may  require  a  host  name.  You  can  enter 
your  host  name  in  the  space  provided  if  you  were  assigned  one.  Your 
host  name...

Setting your ISP Connection Type to Static IP
A  static  IP  address  connection  type  is  less  common  than  other 
connection  types.  If  your  ISP  uses  static  IP  addressing,  you  will 
need  your  IP  address,  subnet  mask,  and  ISP  gateway  address.  This 
information  is  available  from  your  ISP  or  on  the  paperwork  that  your  ISP 
left  with  you.  Type  in  your  information  then  click  “Apply  Changes”

Setting your ISP Connection Type to PPPoE
Most  DSL  providers  use  PPPoE  as  the  connection  type.  If  you  use  a 
DSL  modem  to  connect  to  the  Internet,  your  ISP  may  use  PPPoE  to  log 
you  into  the  service.  If  you  have  an  Internet  connection  in  your  home  or 
small  office  that  doesn’t  require  a  modem,  you  may  also
 
use  PPPoE.
Your  connection  type  is  PPPoE  if:

(European Countries Only)
This  type  of  connection  is  most  common  in  European  countries.  Some 
ISPs  require  a  connection  using  PPTP  protocol.  This  sets  up  a  direct 
connection  to  the  ISP’s  system.  Type  in  the  information  provided  by
