Help with Toshiba Laptop and Mac OS X

[SirWhack]

Hi there,

So I've recently tried installing Mac OS X 10.4.8 on my laptop. It works great, only I'm having trouble setting up a network. Now I'm very familiar with Windows, and how to set up an internet connection, Mac is a different story.

At first, I thought there was a problem with the driver. But apparently, the network card built in with my laptop (Toshiba Satellite A100) will run native on Mac. The thing is, when I hook up the network cable to my laptop, Mac does not pick up anything. I go in System Preferences and Network and it shows Built-In Ethernet but says the cable for blah blah is not plugged in. I try and click configure... but nothing happens. Now when I connect it says "An incorrect PPP option has been set. Please verify your settings and try again."

I've tried creating a new connection using the Network Assistant but I can't get passed "How do you Connect to the Internet?". All the options are grayed out and it's stuck on "I use a telephone modem to dial my ISP".

I've looked all over the forums, and thought I had to edit a Info.plist file at first, but then I figured that wasn't the problem as my built-in network card should be fine driver-wise to run native right?

Any help would be greatly appreciated!

Thanks!

Okay, so maybe the following information would help someone figure out what's wrong. I know I have a PPoE internet connection, with a user and password. I think I may be setting one of the options for the connection wrong. Here's what I put:

 

TCP/IP Connection Type:

PPP

 

DNS Hosts:

Left blank, how do I find this?

 

Domain name:

Left blank

 

Proxy Srever:

Left blank

 

Checked "Connect using PPoE"

 

Then on the following screen I fill out my username and password. I think it might have something to do with the DNS Hosts, I'm just not sure what to put here... Any suggestions on what I could do to figure out this problem?

Thanks guys!
