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 Point-to-point Power over Ethernet (PPPoE) username and password provided by DSL service provider is working and also if the modem is properly set to full-bridged mode.
- Click the Start button.
- Click the Control Panel.
- Go to Network and Sharing Center.
- Select Set up a new connection or network.
- In the Set Up a Connection or Network wizard, choose Connect to the Internet and click Next.
- Click Set up a new connection anyway.
- Select Broadband (PPPoE).
- Enter the username and password given by your ISP, then click Connect.
If you can successfully connect to the internet using the new Dial up connection, the username and password is correct and your modem is properly set to Bridged mode.
