Configuring DSL Using PPPOE

• PPPoE means “PPP over ethernet” which is a system that uses a username and password to authorize your dsl service.
• PPPoE connections are set up the same as standard dynamic connections, just, when you set it up, you have to indicate that there is a PPPOE username and password. It’s really easy, and once it is set up, it will stay that way. You should only need to type the username and password once.

Configuring a Mac

This should work on any Mac running OSX.

• Open “Network Preferences”.
• On the left side, select “Ethernet”. That’s how we are connecting.
• On the right side, select “Create PPPOE Service”. This will lead you to a configuration wizard.
• For the service name, type “BrookeTel”
• The username and password should be the ones we gave you.

That’s it, you’re ready to connect.

Configuring Windows

This should work on Windows Vista or newer (Windows 7 or Windows 8).

To create a PPPoE client connection:

• Click Start, click Control Panel, and then double-click Network and Internet Connections.

• Type the password that Brooke Telecom provided.
• Type the password one more time to confirm it, and then click Next.
• Click Add a shortcut to this connection to the desktop, if you want one..

That’s it, you’re ready to connect.
