How to Complete the Wizard-Detected Login Account Setup

If the Setup Wizard determines that your Internet service account uses a login protocol such as
PPP over Ethernet (PPPoE), you will be directed to a menu like the PPPoE menu in

Figure 3-8

Figure 3-8: Setup Wizard menu for PPPoE login accounts

1.

Enter your Account Name (may also be called Host Name) and Domain Name. These
parameters may be necessary to access your ISP’s services such as mail or news servers. If you
leave the Domain Name field blank, the firewall will attempt to learn the domain
automatically from the ISP. If this is not successful, you may need to enter it manually.

2.

Enter the PPPoE login user name and password provided by your ISP. These fields are case
sensitive. If you wish to change the login timeout, enter a new value in minutes.

Note: You will no longer need to launch the ISP’s login program on your PC in order to
access the Internet. When you start an Internet application, your firewall will automatically log
you in.

3.

Domain Name Server (DNS) Address: If you know that your ISP does not automatically
transmit DNS addresses to the firewall during login, select “Use these DNS servers” and enter
the IP address of your ISP’s Primary DNS Server. If a Secondary DNS Server address is
available, enter it also.

Note: If you enter an address here, after you finish configuring the firewall, reboot your PCs
so that the settings take effect.
