some isps require a special login protocol. in this case, you will need to know what type of protocol is used, and you will need a login name and password. the two common protocols are:

    1?ppp over ethernet (pppoe)

    two common pppoe clients are winpoet and entrenet.

    2?roadrunner

    not all roadrunner service areas require a login protocol. if your isp is roadrunner, you should ask whether your pc must run a roadrunner login program.

    after your network and router are configured, the router will perform the login task when needed, and you will no longer need to login from your pc.
