This section provides a tutorial example of how to view and change configuration details of the PPP network that connects the DSL modem to the DSL server at the telephone company.

2. Click the "Internet Connection" icon on top of the page. The Internet connection summary page shows up.
3. Click the "Details" menu entry. The Internet connection details page shows up:
4. Review the Internet connection details and status:
Connection Type: PPPoE User ID (b1xxxxxx): b1xxxxxx Internet Address: 65.93.4.116 Subnet Mask: 255.255.255.255 Default Gateway: 64.230.197.72 Primary Domain Name Server: 207.164.234.129 Secondary Domain Name Server: 207.164.234.193 Domain: Maximum Transmission Unit (MTU): 1492 Gateway Ping: Successful DNS Communication: Successful Configuration Server Post: Successful
