C. After you have connected your modem to your PC and telephone line, please start your PC.

2. NETWORK CONFIGURATION

PPPoE connection does not require you to have an IP

address or DNS settings manually encoded on your network

card. PPPoE connection uses authentication to establish

the Internet connection and its after doing this that your

modem is assigned an IP and DNS settings from TPG.

To begin, your PC needs to receive a private IP address

from the modem. Most ADSL routers have DHCP enabled

by default that will take care of this.

To ensure your Network Card is ready for this, please follow

the following steps:

A. Click on Start -> Settings -> Control Panel -> Network

Connections

B. Find your Network Card then right click on this and select

Properties

C. Double click on Internet Protocol TCP/IP

D. Ensure “Obtain an IP address automatically” is selected

E. Ensure “Obtain DNS server address automatically” is

selected

F. Click on OK

PLEASE NOTE: By doing this step you will be deleting any

additional customised settings (if applicable) in your

conﬁguration of your modem to PPPoE without restoring

the modem to factory defaults in which case please skip

this step and proceed from step 4 however if you experience

Internet problems after competing the setup, we recommend

your modem for 10 seconds and release. At this point the

reset is in progress. Please do not power off the unit.

C. When the indicator lights return steady, the reset is

complete. Your modem is now at factory defaults.

PLEASE NOTE:

ADSL routers will by default be capable of automatic authentication. This means your router will use your credentials you

have provided to make the Internet connection. Each time your router is powered on, it will initialize this automated

authentication process after which your router will receive a public IP address (ﬁxed or dynamic depending on your plan) and

DNS settings from TPG
