PPPoE Configuration

Some DSL-based ISPs use Point-to-Point Protocol over Ethernet (PPPoE). If you use a DSL modem and need a user name and password to connect to the Internet, check with your ISP to determine if you should connect using PPPoE.

To set up a PPPoE connection:

Have your user name, password, and if required, the domain name server (DNS) address from your ISP available as you configure your network (see page 71).

1In Network preferences, choose Built-in Ethernet from the Show pop-up menu.

2Click PPPoE and select “Connect using PPPoE.”

3Type the information into the corresponding fields. If you want all users of your computer to use the same connection method, select “Save password.”

Note: To connect automatically when you start a TCP/IP application, such as a web browser or email, click PPPoE Options, then select “Connect automatically when needed.”
