Creating a PPPoE Dial Up Connection on Windows 7

Creating a Dial Up Connection  or Dialer on a computer is very useful to check if the cable or DSL modem is properly set to bridged mode. In that way, we can test if the PPPoE username and password provided by DSL service provider is working and also if the modem is properly set to full-bridged mode.

STEP 1. Click on Start button and then, Control Panel.

STEP 2.  Go to Network and Sharing Center.

STEP 3. Select on Set up a new connection or network.

STEP 4. A wizard will appear on the screen. Choose Connect to the Internet.

STEP 5. Select Set up a new connection anyway.

STEP 6. Select Broadband (PPPoE).

STEP 7. Enter the username and password given by your ISP and then, click on Connect.

If the customer can successfully connect to the internet using the Dial up connection that was created it means that the username and password is correct and modem is properly set to Bridged mode.
