G. Note : You need to determine whether or not you are using PPPoE. What is PPPoE? PPPoE stands for Point-to-Point Protocol over Ethernet. It is a non-standard method of connecting to your ISP to gain an IP address. It relies upon a software client that is provided by the ISP. An IP address is required to gain a connection to the Internet. How can I tell if I am using PPPoE? PPPoE requires a client on your computer. If you have a broadband connection and have to login to your provider in a similar fashion to how you would dial in with a modem, you are probably using PPPoE. If you are simply connected to the Internet when you turn on your computer, you probably are not. The safest way to check is to call your provider, or read the documentation provided with your Internet service to determine if you currently use PPPoE. If you are using PPPoE, begin Step 5.
