80 Appendix C Connecting to the Internet

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).

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.”

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.”
