6 Enter your PPP over Ethernet service name in the PPPoE Service Name text
box. Not all ISPs require a PPPoE service name. Only enter a service name
if your ISP requires this.
7 Select an idle time from the Maximum Idle Time drop-down list.
This value will correspond to the amount of idle time (no Internet activity)
that will pass before the Gateway automatically ends your PPP over
Ethernet session.
Since the Gateway contains its own PPPoE client, you no longer need to
run PPPoE client software on your computer to access the Internet.

typically the address of your modem).
3 Enter your PPTP user name in the PPTP User Name text box.
4 Enter your password in the PPTP Password text box.
5 Enter your Primary DNS Address and Secondary DNS address.
Your ISP may provide you with primary and secondary DNS addresses. If
they have been provided, enter the addresses in the appropriate text
boxes. If not, leave 0.0.0.0 in the boxes.
