PPPoE connection 1

[stinebiz]

I'm trying to set up a PPPoE connection for my DSL, but the XP network connection wizard grays out the selection so I can't authenticate with my DSL ISP. It only gives me the option to choose a continuous broadband connection. I had it set up on my old system running XP pro, so I can't figure out why it doesn't give me the PPPoE option. For the time being, I am forced to run my ASDL through my old system and share it with the new one.

I even tried installing a new NIC in the new machine, but that did nothing.

Any Advice?

Contact your ISP.
