IP Addresses Assigned as Part of PPP Session Setup
When a PPP session is established, your service provider’s PPP server assigns an IP address to your modem’s DSL
interface. It also informs your modem of the IP addresses to which it should send DNS requests. It may be necessary to
verify one of these IP addresses for a specific PPP account while troubleshooting. To view the current settings for an
account:
1. Click the
Edit
button of the appropriate PPP account. The
Configure Account
dialog box appears.
2. Click the
Advanced
button to view the DNS and IP information.
