Gather ISP Information
You need the following information to set up your modem and to check that your Internet
configuration is correct. Your Internet service provider (ISP) should have provided you with all
of the information needed to connect to the Internet. If you cannot locate this information, ask
your ISP to provide it. When your Internet connection is working, you no longer need to
launch the ISP’s login program on your computer to access the Internet. When you start an
Internet application, your broadband ADSL2+ modem automatically logs you in.
