Loadman Posted September 6, 2006 Share Posted September 6, 2006 Hi guys, Ok, i am running 10.4.5 OS X on Intel machine. Everything works almost flawless. Except i cannot connect to internet. I have some Siemens USB adsl modem. OS X can see it (with some different driver i guess) and that is about all. The LINE LED on my modem never lights up. Only POWER LED. Do you have any tips? Thanks!

wondergod Posted September 6, 2006 Share Posted September 6, 2006 first off I want to say usb adsl modems are the worst concept ever created by mortal man and that mac support will be sketchy at best. Ok with that said.. goto system preferences -> network -> Show: "Your modem" -> Select PPPoE tab. click the option to "connect using pppoe" fill out the Account name box and the password...select save password if needed and then hit apply now. You may want to try rebooting after that if it doesn't auto connect. If that doesn't work try giving us the model number for your modem and service provder... however you should really try getting a ethernet modem, only drivers needed are your ethernet card and no additional USB drivers are ever needed, so it works with macs, pc's, and linux machines all the same...

parachute Posted November 23, 2006 Share Posted November 23, 2006 I also have the same problem. Any modem model suggestions? Link to comment https://www.insanelymac.com/forum/topic/26869-cannot-connect-to-internet/#findComment-240768 Share on other sites More sharing options...
McSkywalker Posted November 23, 2006 Share Posted November 23, 2006 Well, I've got this Inca 4 port Ethernet/USB ADSL modem and it worked right out of the box through USB, in Mac OS. Obviously, it also works through ethernet, too.
