AOL users: AOL users have to configure a second AOL screen name. Use the

first screen name to log on to AOL and the other to dial in. Otherwise, AOL

will disconnect you when it detects the duplicate use of the screen name

when you log on to AOL.

In this window, check the box to enable the 'Show PPPoE status in the menu

bar' option. This allows you to connect and disconnect the Internet connec-

tion quickly.

햵 Click PPPoE Options... and configure the settings as needed. The con-

nection options have the following effects:

쑗 'Connect automatically when needed': Dial-up networking connects

you to the Internet automatically when a browser or other Internet

program is launched.

쑗 'Prompt every 15 minutes to maintain connection': You can specify

any amount of time you like.

쑗 'Disconnect if idle for 10 minutes': So that you do not accidentally

remain online longer than intended, the system prompts you every 10

minutes if no Internet program is being used. Here, too, you can

specify any amount of time you like.

쑗 'Disconnect when user logs out': Selecting this option ensures that no

one else can use the existing connection after the user has logged

out.

Confirm your settings with OK.

햶 In the PPPoE window, confirm your changes by clicking Apply Now. This

completes the configuration of the PPPoE driver.
