1. 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 router is assigned an IP and DNS settings from TPG.
To begin, your PC needs to receive a private IP address from the router. 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

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.
