    I got a static IP PPPoE connection from my ISP provider, and I am running a VNC server on it, and needs to connect a PPPoE connection on boot.

    Is there a solution to that?

    Follow these steps:

    1. Go to Start menu and type in the search field ncpa.cpl and hit enter
    2. Right click your PPPoE Internet Connection and select Properties
    3. Go to Options tab and uncheck Prompt for name and password, certificate, etc., and set Redial attempts to as many as you want, and also set Time between redial attempts to, say, 3 seconds and then click OK

    Make sure your PPPoE connection is set to Default by going to Control Panel->Network and Sharing Center->Change Adapter Settings and right-clicking on this internet connection and selecting Set as Default Connection

    Now, type in the start menu search field inetcpl.cpl and hit enter and go to Connections tab.

    • Select your PPPoE connection
    • Select Dial whenever a network connection is not present.
    • Click Set default if button is active and click OK.

    Now, just log off and and log in. The connection should be dialed automatically.

    EDIT: Right-click on All Programs in Start menu and click Open. Now, open Programs folder and double-click on Startup folder. Type in ncpa.cpl in Start menu search field and hit enter. Just drag-and-drop your pppoes internet connection into this Startup folder. Do log-off, log-in.

    Use this: Automatically dial the default Internet connection at Windows startup

    With the slight modification that do not set "When I logon", but set "At system startup".

    • You still need to disable "prompt for name and password" as "om sai" said.

    networking - Internet Connection problems with PPPoE over Fiber
  • Donniel Thomas

    I have a Fiber Optic Internet connection, where the Fiber Optic modem is connected to my Wi-Fi router.

    On every system that needs to connect to the Internet, I need to connect to the Wi-Fi router first, and then login via PPPoE with the ISP username and password.

    Is there a way to set this up in the router? I have a 3COM 3CRWDR200A-75 router, and I have tried to set it up to authenticate via PPPoE automatically.

    To do this, I have set the Internet Settings, with the ISP username and password. However, this doesn't work. I still have to connect in Windows 7 via PPPoE.

    Any help in setting this up would be appreciated, because I'm tearing my hair out!

    It seems your Internet router is having some problem with the PPPoE settings. That's why your Internet router is not connecting. Check the setting of your router, such as:

    VPI : 0
    VCI : 50
    

    Right now your Wi-Fi router is working as a switch. Try to change some settings and save and restart the router every time you change any settings.
