1.
Connect your computer and the modem to the same local network using a hub or a switch.
Note: If you need to connect your computer directly to the modem without a local
network, you will need to disable DHCP in the modem and manually change the IP
address of your computer to match the subnet of the IP address the carrier has
given to the modem.
2.
Start the PPPoE by Start > Connect To > AirLink PPPoE (or whatever you named the con-
nection). It will be listed on your Network Connections window under the heading Broadband.
