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
modem is assigned an IP and DNS settings from TPG.
To begin, your PC needs to receive a private IP address
from the modem. Most ADSL 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 on Start -> Settings -> Control Panel -> Network
Connections
B. Find your Network Card then right click on this and select
Properties
C. Double click on Internet Protocol TCP/IP
D. Ensure "Obtain an IP address automatically" is selected
E. Ensure "Obtain DNS server address automatically" is
selected
F. Click on OK
