Airport - SkyBroadband Connection
Hi -

I have Skybroadband and it works via ethernet.

When I try to connect via my Airport - I get a 'Looking for PPPoE Host' message up on the internet connect box.

I figure I need to update my systems preferences somehow...

Anyone have some insight?

Thanks for your help!


Frederick

Sky use PPPoA, Not PPPoE? I gave my MacBook back, Would have come in handy now!

Re: Airport - SkyBroadband Connection
Open your network preferences panel and make sure under the PPoE tab that connect using PPoE is NOT selected. Go to TCP/IP tab and make sure configure using DHCP is selected.

Good luck
Dave
