3.3.1  Wizard Setup — PPPoE Modem Screen
The screen shown next appears if you selected PPPoE Modem from the initial Wizard screen and allows
you to enter Internet Access information in one screen. Before you configure your Prestige for Internet
access, you need to collect your Internet account information from your ISP and telephone company. Refer to
the next table for a list of required account information.
A Note about IP Adressess.
Every machine on the Internet must have a unique address. If your networks are isolated from the Internet,
e.g., only between your two branch offices, you can assign any IP addresses to the hosts without problems.
However, the Internet Assigned Numbers Authority (IANA) has reserved the following three blocks of IP
addresses specifically for private networks:
10.0.0.0     -  10.255.255.255
172.16.0.0   -  172.31.255.255
192.168.0.0  -  192.168.255.255
