NOTE TO DSL USERS

While PPPoE is the most common way to connect to DSL Internet service, it still

may be necessary to enable “Cable Modem” in the Broadband settings. Below are

examples for using Cable Modem instead of xDSL PPPoE, even if your Internet

service is a DSL service.

• Your ISP has given you a so-called “modem-router” instead of a simple modem.

• Your ISP has not given you a username and password for PPPoE login (implying

that it is not required).

• When your computer is connected directly to the modem, the computer obtains

an IP address which is in the private IP network range (192.168.xxx.yyy, 10.xxx.yyy,

172.16.xxx.yyy).

• You can connect to the Internet with your computer connected directly to the

modem without using a dialer program asking for a username and password.

• If attempts to utilize PPPoE xDSL fail repeatedly, you should activate “Cable

Modem” as a troubleshooting step.
