Select
PPPoE

account (PPPoE simulates a dial-up connection).
Enter the user name and password
exactly

your ISP assigned them.
A maximum transmission unit (MTU) is the
largest size packet or frame, specified in octets
(eight-bit bytes) that can be sent in a packet- or
frame-based network. The Transmission Control
Protocol (TCP) uses the MTU to determine the
maximum size of each packet in a transmission.
Too large an MTU size may mean
retransmissions if the packet encounters a router
that can't handle that large a packet. Too small
an MTU size means relatively more header
overhead and more acknowledgements that
have to be sent and handled.
The maximum segment size (MSS) is the largest
amount of data, specified in bytes, that a
computer or communications device can handle
in a single, unfragmented piece.
For optimum communications, the number of bytes in the data segment and the header must add up to less than
the number of bytes in the maximum transmission unit (MTU).
Enter the name of your PPPoE server, in the
Service Name
field if provided; otherwise leave it blank.
Select
Connect on Demand
when you don't want an “always-on” connection and specify an inactivity time limit
(in minutes) in the
Max Idle Time
field.
