15. How do I know I am using PPPoE?
PPPoE requires a user account to login to the provider's server. If you need to
configure a user name and password on your computer to connect to the ISP
you are probably using PPPoE. If you are simply connected to the Internet
when you turn on your computer, you probably are not. You can also check
your ISP or the information sheet given by the ISP. Please choose PPPoE as
the encapsulation type in the P-791R v2 if the ISP uses PPPoE.

16. Why does my provider use PPPoE?
PPPoE emulates a familiar Dial-Up connection. It allows your ISP to provide
services using their existing network configuration over the broadband
connections. Besides, PPPoE supports a broad range of existing applications
and service including authentication, accounting, secure access and

17. What is DDNS?
The Dynamic DNS service allows you to alias a dynamic IP address to a static
hostname, allowing your computer to be more easily accessed from various
locations on the Internet. To use the service, you must first apply an account
from several free Web servers such as http://www.dyndns.org/.

Without DDNS, we always tell the users to use the WAN IP of the P-791R v2 to
reach our internal server. It is inconvenient for the users if this IP is dynamic.
With DDNS supported by the P-791R v2, you apply a DNS name (e.g.,
www.zyxel.com.tw) for your server (e.g., Web server) from a DDNS server.
The outside users can always access the web server using the
www.zyxel.com.tw regardless of the WAN IP of the P-791R v2.

When the ISP assigns the P-791R v2a new IP, the P-791R v2 updates this IP
to DDNS server so that the server can update its IP-to-DNS entry. Once the
IP-to-DNS table in the DDNS server is updated, the DNS name for your web
server (i.e., www.zyxel.com.tw) is still usable.

18. When do I need DDNS service?
When you want your internal server to be accessed by using DNS name rather
than using the dynamic IP address we can use the DDNS service. The DDNS
server allows to alias a dynamic IP address to a static hostname. Whenever
