Thread: How to connect to Dataone on Mac OS X 10.5.6

Hi,
I'm unable to connect to internet through Dataone on my macbook. The config is:
OS: Mac OS X 10.5.6
Modem: Quidway WA1003A

The connection works fine on my desktop (Win XP). I'm trying to connect through PPPoE but havent had any luck so far.

I would also appreciate any info on how to set up wireless. (The wireless light on modem is ON and my macbook detects the WA1003A wireless connection but says "Airport has a self-assigned IP address and may not be able to connect to internet")

Thanks in Advance!

post output of ifconfig from the mac terminal , is the modem in pppoe mode or you wish to create a dilaer in mac?

Here's the output of ifconfig:

Do I have to set PPPoE in modem settings? I've been trying by creating PPPoE Service in the Network window. Also can you give some pointers on how to set wireless?

Thanx!

your interface doesnt seem to be getting an ip.. in your terminal type sudo dhclient and then post ifconfig output again
