Hey Guys,
Whenever i turn on my modem, it automatically connects to the internet, but i want to connect it manually, because i am on 500 Night UL plan. One more thing is i am using Mac so i dont know how to make connection as we do in windows to connect manually.
So basically i need help with modem settings and laptop settings.
P.S I am using QWEST modem, so i guess it has different settings.
Any help would be much appreciated.

mention your modem's model name or model no.

I assume you are on pppoe mode then.......
To make the dialer mode, delete the username, password from your modem and then configure a dialler from macbook.....

Configure Mac OS X Dialler

1. From the Apple menu, choose System Preferences.
2. From the View menu, choose Network.
3. Choose "Internal Modem" from the Show pop-up menu (or the "Configure" pop-up menu prior to Mac OS X v10.1).
If your computer does not have a built-in modem, select your external modem.

4. Mac OS X v10.5 or later: From the Configuration pop-up menu, choose Add Configuration.
Mac OS X 10.4.x or earlier: Click the PPP tab.
5. Enter your information into the relevant fields. Your username goes in the Account Name field, for example. If you want to copy this connection information to other user accounts on this computer, select "Save password".
6. You should now be able to connect. If you need to configure DNS servers or other advanced settings, continue to the next step.
7. Mac OS X v10.5 or later: Click the Advanced button, then click the DNS tab.
Mac OS X v10.4 or earlier: Click the TCP/IP tab. Choose either PPP or Manually from the Configure pop-up menu, as instructed by your Internet service provider. If configuring manually, type the IP address in the matching field.
8. Type the DNS server addresses in their field if necessary (click the "+" button first in Mac OS X v10.5 or later).
9. Click OK.
10. Click Apply (or Apply Now for Mac OS X v10.4 or earlier).


Connect and verify

1. Mac OS X v10.5 or later: Open Network preferences (in System Preferences).
Mac OS X v10.4.x or earlier: Open Internet Connect (from the Applications folder).
2. Be sure the Configuration pop-up menu is set to your modem.
3. Click the Connect button.
4. Once you're connected, open a Web browser or other Internet application to make sure your connection works.
