Macintosh OS X PPPoE Configuration For DSL

PPPoE Setup Instructions
Pentel Net uses PPP over Ethernet (PPPoE) as the connection method. PPPoE is essentially the same as a PPP dialup connection, but instead of using a dialup modem, the connection goes over an Ethernet or USB connection to your broadband modem.


Step 1:

Click the Apple in the upper left, and then select System Preferences from the drop-down menu.



Step 2:

Click the Network icon.
From the Show drop-down menu, select your ethernet device.
Click the PPPoE tab.
Select the Connect using PPPoE option.
Leave the Service Provider field leave blank.
Leave the PPPoE Service Name field blank.
In the Account Name field, enter your login ID.
In the Password field, enter your password.
Select the Save Password option.


Step 3:

Click on the PPPoE Options... button for more options.

Note: Setting the field Disconnect if idle for x minutes is not needed. There are no ramifications/extra charges for leaving the connection active, and most customers prefer to have their DSL always on. It is probably best to leave this selection disabled.


Click the OK button.
Click the Save button to finish.
