my modem connects through the ethernet port of the ibook via PPPoE.
going through drakconnect, i use the wizard, and select only adsl (is this right?) and put in my details... the same one's that work fine in OS X. it tries to connect, after 15seconds or so fails. it sends some data upstream and i can see it on the net monitor as well as the data led on the modem. (which had remained silent until then)
any idea's? what should i be checking? and what about the question "does the network need to be restarted?" can this make a difference?
thanks for your patience, not exactly a guru here.....

I have another problem... the bootloader, won't load. i put setenv boot-device hd:11,\\:tbxi into the openfirmware. on reboot, it shows a question mark while looking for a bootdrive then loads os x... the bootstrap partition is there.....
thanks for the help.

I am having trouble making the pppoe connection at install time. it goes into hard lock as soon as i press ok... i have tried with both ethernet and adsl enabled as well as just adsl.
Yeah I had this happen with my PowerBook. (Stew: Could this possibly turn out
to be a laptop specific problem? All: Anyone else using a pppoe connection
with a laptop?) What I did is just skipped it and set it up when I booted.
i am also unsure which usb driver to choose. i am on a ibook 2001
Quoting Stew from an earlier email:
"Shouldn't need to select anything - usb is built in. If the installer forces you to, pick keybdev"
