88 Appendix C Connecting to the Internet
Configuring PPPoE
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 (see page 81).
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 in 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, and then select “Connect automatically when
needed.”
4 Click TCP/IP and choose either Using PPP or Manually from the Configure IPv4 pop-up
menu, 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.
