With my ADSL connection, the only parameters I remember needing to configure were the VPI (“Virtual Path Identifier”) which was 0, and the VCI (“Virtual Circuit Identifier”) which was 100. I think these numbers were common across NZ ISPs.

Presumably I can get these parameters from the router, if I am provided with one.

Oops, sorry, those parameters would only be applicable to ATM, not Ethernet.
