Connecting to the Internet 95
PPPoE Configuration
Some DSL-based ISPs use Point-to-Point Protocol over Ethernet (PPPoE). Check with your ISP
to determine if you should connect using PPPoE. If you use a DSL modem and need a user
name and password to connect to the Internet, follow these instructions.
1 Obtain this information from your ISP:
m User name and password
m Domain name server (DNS) address, if required.
2 Choose Apple (K) > System Preferences.
3 Click Network.
4 In the Show pop-up menu, choose Built-in Ethernet.
5 Click the PPPoE tab and select “Connect using PPPoE.”
6 Type your user name in the Account Name field and your password in the Password
field. 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.”
7 Click the TCP/IP tab and in the Configure pop-up menu, choose either PPP or Manually, as
instructed by your ISP. If you have a static IP address from your ISP, choose Manually and
type the address in the IP Address field.
