Windows XP PPPoE Configuration

Windows XP PPPoE setup for Hikari T-Series connection.

I. Before making the configuration, ensure that...

1. You are an ASAHI Net member.
The fastest and easiest way to sign-up is on-line: click here.

2. You are using the correct ASAHI Net Course.
>> Hikari T-Series Home Course.
>> Hikari T-Series Mansion Course.

3. You are prepared for connection.
PPPoE connection software in the Windows XP operating system makes it possible for your computer to connect to the Hikari T-Series service. Do not install the Japanese PPPoE software that you received from KDDI, and do not install any other PPPoE software: you do not need other PPPoE software and their presence could cause connection problems.

On the day of KDDI opening their service, connect up all equipment provided as instructed by KDDI.
