5.4.1 Configuring Your Internet Connection
When subscribing to a broadband service, you should be aware of the method by
which you are connected to the Internet. Technical information regarding the prop-
erties of your Internet connection should be provided by your Internet Service Pro-
vider (ISP). For example, your ISP should inform you whether you are connected to
the Internet using a static or dynamic IP address, or what protocols, such as PPTP
or PPPoE, you will be using to communicate over the Internet.
Your WAN connection can be configured using one of the following methods. Read
the configuration instructions relevant to you, by selecting your connection method
from the following list:
 Manual IP Address Ethernet Connection [Section 5.4.1.1]
 Automatic IP Address Ethernet Connection [Section 5.4.1.2]
 Point-to-Point Tunneling Protocol (PPTP) [Section 5.4.1.3]
 Point-to-point protocol over Ethernet (PPPoE) [Section 5.4.1.4]
 No Internet connection [Section 5.4.1.5]
Click the 'Click here for Advanced Settings' link at anytime to navigate to your WAN
connection's properties page. The 'WAN Ethernet Properties' screen appears.
