I cannot access my DSL broadband connection. What should I do?
DSL equipment comes in two flavors: bridges (commonly known as DSL
modems) and routers. Some DSL equipment can be configured to work both
ways.
• If you connect to your ISP using a PPPoE or PPTP dialer defined in
your operating system, your equipment is most likely configured as
a DSL bridge. Configure a PPPoE or PPTP type DSL connection.
• If you were not instructed to configure a dialer in your operating
system, your equipment is most likely configured as a DSL router.
Configure a LAN connection, even if you are using a DSL
connection.
For instructions, see Configuring the Internet Connection on page 57.
