Problem, Meet Solution
Important:
Instructions that refer to modems do not apply to LAN users. LAN users
might have hubs, switches, routers, or connection pods that DSL and cable modem users
do not have. LAN users should contact their network administrator rather than an ISP.
PPPoE Connections
If you’re unable to connect to your Internet service provider using PPPoE (Point to Point
Protocol over Ethernet), make sure you’ve entered the correct information in Network
preferences.
To check PPPoE settings:
1
Choose Apple () > System Preferences.
2
Click Network.
3
Click Add (+) at the bottom of the network connection services list, and choose PPPoE
from the Interface pop-up menu.
4
Choose an interface for the PPPoE service from the Ethernet pop-up menu. Choose
Ethernet if you’re connecting to a wired network, or Wi-Fi if you’re connecting to a
wireless network.
5
Click Create.
6
Enter the information you received from your service provider, such as the account
name, password, and PPPoE service name (if your service provider requires it).
