47.3.3 Point-to-Point Protocol over Ethernet (PPPoE)
Point-to-Point Protocol over Ethernet (PPPoE) relies on two widely accepted standards,
PPP and Ethernet. PPPoE enables your home network PCs that communicate on an
Ethernet network to exchange information with PCs 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 multi-point architecture of Ethernet. A
discovery process in PPPoE determines the Ethernet MAC address of the remote device in
order to establish a session.
 To create a PPPoE connection:
1. In the Connections page, click the New icon; the Connection Wizard opens.
2. Select the Internet Connection option, and then click Next.
