72.1.1. Installing RASPPPOE drivers

Go to http://www.raspppoe.com/ and download RASPPPOE driver from Download & install section.

Extract the RASPPPOE driver file.
If you are running Windows 2000, right-click the My Network Places icon on your desktop and select Properties to bring up the Network and Dial-up Connections window.
If you are running Windows XP/2003, click the Start button, select Control Panel, then click Network and Internet Connections and then click the Network Connections control panel icon to bring up the Network Connections window. Go to the menu and select View then Details to get a detailed view of the network connections on your machine.
You should find one or more Local Area Connection objects. Locate the one for the network adapter for which you want to install PPPoE driver, right-click it and select Properties.
In the Properties dialog box, click the Install... button.
In the Select Network Component Type window, select Protocol and click the Add... button. (Note: It could take a few seconds for the following window to come up.)
In the Select Network Protocol window, click the Have Disk... button.
In the Install From Disk window, either type the name of your temporary installation directory or click the Browse... button to navigate to it (it does not matter which of the INF files you select, Windows will automatically pick the right one later). Then click the OK button. A new window opens, offering the PPP over Ethernet Protocol for installation. Click OK to start installing the protocol.
During installation, a window titled Digital Signature Not Found (Windows 2000) or Hardware Installation (Windows XP/2003) may come up several times (typically four times per installed network adapter), warning you that the driver has no digital signature or Windows Logo. Make sure you click Yes (Windows 2000) or Continue Anyway (Windows XP/2003) every time you are prompted to allow successful installation of the protocol.
Back at the Local Area Connection Properties window, click Close to close the window.
