PPPOE looks for [TCP/IP] and [PPPOE] sections
-
Name= and Pnpid= directives contain the broadband device’s device name and Plug and Play ID, which the system manufacturer places in the INS file before it ships. For a multifunction adapter, use the Plug and Play ID of the configured network device (class “Net”).
This information is transmitted to the broadband service provider during user signup. The broadband service provider adds these entries to the INS file so that the correct device will be configured during signup.
[TCP/IP] Section
The following is the structure for the [TCP/IP] section of the INS file:
[TCP/IP]
Specify_IP_Address = {yes for static, no for DHCP}
IP_Address = {static IP address, if used}
Subnet_Mask = {IP address, if IP_Address is used}
Specify_DNS_Address = {yes if used, else no}
DNS_List = {IP address},{IP address}, …
IP_Header_Compress = {yes if used, else no}
Gateway_On_Remote = {yes if used, else no}
Default_Gateway_List = {IP address},{IP address},…
Domain_Name = {string, if used}
Host_Name = {string, if used}
Domain_Suffix_Search_List = {string},{string},…
Specify_WINS_Address = {yes if used, else no}
WINS_List = {IP address},{IP address}, …
ScopeID = {number, if used}
Note: Some of these parameter names override those for non-broadband INS files. For example, DNS_List replaces DNS_Address and DNS_Alt_Address, and WINS_List replaces WINS_Address and WINS_Alt_Address. Do not use non-broadband INS parameter names in broadband INS files. They will not be recognized.
Also, all IP addresses must be of the form n.n.n.n and not DNS-resolved addresses—for example, 192.168.0.2 instead of broadband.microsoft.com.
[PPPoverATM] or [Ethernet_1483] Sections
The following is the structure for these sections:
[PPPoverATM] or [Ethernet_1483]
Circuit_Speed = {flag}
Circuit_QOS = {flag}
Circuit_Type = {0 if SVC, 1 if PVC}
Speed_Adjust = {yes or no}
QOS_Adjust = {yes or no}
Encapsulation = {flag}
VPI = {numeric value} ;Used only for permanent virtual circuits (PVC)
VCI = {numeric value} ;Used only for permanent virtual circuits (PVC)
Vendor_Config = {yes or no}
Show_Status = {yes or no}
Enable_Log = {yes or no}
