Here us how to setup PPPoE connection inside Windows 10 while also setting a VLAN

Setting a VLAN

Here are some instructions with how to set a VLAN. Some ISPs require that a VLAN is set on the network interface for the VPN to work.

Run an elevated PowerShell (as an administrator) and run the following commands

First get a list of network adapters;

Get-NetAdapter

Now set the VLAN on the adapter, in this example Ethernet 5 is the adapter you wish to select, and 10 is the VLAN you wish to set.

Set-NetAdapter -Name "Ethernet 5" -VlanID 10

Debugging

If you get the following message, setting a VLAN on the adapter is not supported

Using the PROSet Adapter Configuration Utilit

If the adapter doesn't allow for the VLAN to be set, you can use the Intel PROSet Adapter Configuration Utility to set a VLAN. More information about this and download from here. Here is an example of VLAN 10 being set inside the utility. You will see it creates a new interface in which the VLAN sits.

Setting up the PPP Connection

To setup the PPPoE connection inside windows, go into Control Panel => Network and Internet => Network and Sharing Center and click 'Set up a new connection or network'

Click 'Connect to the Internet'

If you see the following dialog, click 'Set up a new connection anyway'

Click 'Broadband (PPPoE)'

Enter in the credentials that have been provided to you by your ISP

Click 'Connect now' to test the connection
