WAN PPPoE/WAN PPPoE 2 WAN Point-to-Point Protocol over Ethernet (PPPoE) relies on two widely accepted standards: Point-to-Point Protocol and Ethernet. PPPoE enables Ethernet networked computers to exchange information with computers on the Internet. PPPoE supports the protocol layers and authentication widely used in PPP and enables a point-to-point connection to be established in the normally multipoint architecture of Ethernet. A discovery process in PPPoE determines the Ethernet MAC address of the remote device in order to establish a session. Click WAN PPPoE in the Network Connections screen to generate the "WAN PPPoE Properties" screen. This screen displays a list of the connection's properties. The only modifications that can be made from this screen are disabling the connection (by clicking Disable) or renaming the connection (by entering a new name in the "Name" text box). 65
