  1. Move to the System section of the Xbox Dashboard.
  2. Select Network Settings.
  3. Select Edit Settings.
  4. On the Additional Settings tab, select PPPoE Settings.
  5. Use the on-screen keyboard to enter the PPPoE information that was provided to you by your ISP.
  6. Select Done.
  7. Select Apply and Test when you are prompted to do this.
Note If your ISP does not use PPPoE authentication, make sure that these settings are empty.
