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:
1) Your ISP gave you a user name and password, which is required to
connect to the Internet;
2) Your ISP gave you software such as WinPOET or Enternet300 that
you use to connect to the Internet; or
3) You have to double-click on a desktop icon other than your
browser to get on the Internet.
