your ISP, and Subnet mask, Gateway IP address are necessary. 
 
—  Most of DSL-based ISPs use PPPoE (Point -to-Point Protocol over Ethernet) to 
establish Internet connections, select  “PPPOE”. If you are connected to the 
Internet through a DSL line, ch eck with your ISP to see if they use PPPoE. In this 
type, you should have Username and Password from your ISP.
