Setting your ISP Connection Type to PPPoE 
Most  DSL  providers  use  PPPoE  as  the  connection  type.  If  you  use  a 
DSL  modem  to  connect  to  the  Internet,  your  ISP  may  use  PPPoE  to 
log  you  into  the  service.  If  you  have  an  Internet  connection  in  your 
home  or  small  office  that  doesn’t  require  a  modem,  you  may  also
 
use  PPPoE.

and  only  let  that  particular  computer  connect  to  the  Internet  service.
