What do you do the PPPoE part with? An app on your mac? The mac's network control panel?

I have just moved from @home cable modem service (using DHCP) to a DSL service using PPPoE and no problems. My DSL is connected to my router to which is connected (among other things) my Airport base station. I run 3 Macs over the wireless in the house in addition to a wired connection. No problems; just don't try to use their stupid software; all you usually get is a customized browser (usually a release behind) that is set to take you to a particular home page that you can customize for your weather, news, etc. ==Tamer -- To unsubscribe: <mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED]> archives: <http://www.mail-archive.com/entourage-talk%40lists.letterrip.com/> old-archive: <http://www.mail-archive.com/entourage-talk%40lists.boingo.com/> -- To unsubscribe: <mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED]> archives: <http://www.mail-archive.com/entourage-talk%40lists.letterrip.com/> old-archive: <http://www.mail-archive.com/entourage-talk%40lists.boingo.com/>
