A WAN (Wide Area Network) connection is an outside connection to another network or the Internet. It
connects your private networks (such as a LAN (Local Area Network) and other networks, so that a
computer in one location can communicate with computers in other locations.

7.2.1 Configuring Your Inte rne t Conne c tion
Enc a psula tion Me thod
Encapsulation is used to include data from an upper layer protocol into a lower layer protocol. To set up
a WAN connection to the Internet, you need to use the same encapsulation method used by your ISP
(Internet Service Provider). If your ISP offers a dial-up Internet connection using PPPoE (PPP over
Ethernet) or PPTP (Point-to-Point Tunneling Protocol), they should also provide a username and password
(and service name) for user authentication.
