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.

1

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

2

Click PPPoE and select “Connect using PPPoE.”

3

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