If your ISP is RoadRunner, you should ask whether your PC must run a RoadRunner login program. • PPTP PPTP is a VPN client, but it is also used in Europe by Alcatel's ANT system and others as an account login client. • BigPond Authentication After your network and router are configured, the router will perform the login task when needed, and you will no longer need to login from your PC. Account Information Unless these items are dynamically assigned by the ISP, your ISP should give you the following basic information for your account: • An IP address and subnet mask • A gateway IP address, which is the address of the ISP's router • One or more domain name server (DNS) IP addresses • Host name and domain suffix For example, your account's full server names may look like this: mail.xxx.yyy.com In this example, the domain suffix is xxx.yyy.com. If any of these items are dynamically supplied by the ISP, your router automatically acquires them. If an ISP technician configured your PC during the installation of the broadband modem, or if you configured it using instructions provided by your ISP, you need to copy configuration information from your PC's Network TCP/IP Properties window (or Macintosh TCP/IP Control Panel) before reconfiguring your PC for use with the router.

Preparing Your Network
•
RoadRunner
Not all RoadRunner service areas require a login protocol. If your ISP is RoadRunner, you
should ask whether your PC must run a RoadRunner login program.
•
PPTP
PPTP is a VPN client, but it is also used in Europe by Alcatel's ANT system and others as an
account login client.
•
BigPond Authentication
After your network and router are configured, the router will perform the login task when needed,
and you will no longer need to login from your PC.
Account Information
Unless these items are dynamically assigned by the ISP, your ISP should give you the following
basic information for your account:
•
An IP address and subnet mask
•
A gateway IP address, which is the address of the ISP’s router
•
One or more domain name server (DNS) IP addresses
•
Host name and domain suffix
For example, your account’s full server names may look like this:
mail.xxx.yyy.com
In this example, the domain suffix is
xxx.yyy.com
.
If any of these items are dynamically supplied by the ISP, your router automatically acquires them.
If an ISP technician configured your PC during the installation of the broadband modem, or if you
configured it using instructions provided by your ISP, you need to copy configuration information
from your PC’s Network TCP/IP Properties window (or Macintosh TCP/IP Control Panel) before
reconfiguring your PC for use with the router. These procedures are described next.
