    Hi there,   thanks for your message...   I maybe didn't provide enough detail in my message but what I was looking for was related to setting up the internet access with my ISP and not the VPN.

     

    I did receive a private message later that said "FVS318N support CHAP and PAP authentication for PPPoE, don't need to configure it."  which I beleive is the correct answer.
