Hey Folks, I have a customer running OS 9.2.2 with a wireless connection to his Airport base station. Both base station and dsl modem connect thru a standard hub. With the base station configured via ethernet, things work as expected as long as the customer initiates his connection first by using MacPoet.
We?ve made attempts at configuring his base station via PPPoE in an effort to eliminate MacPoet being used but no luck. In fact, we?ve observed that the manual TCP/IP settings in the base station change from their correct settings after attempting to connect via IE without using MacPoet first. Bummer! I haven?t tried changing the static info. to DHCP because Verizon configured his Mac when it was directly connected to his dsl modem with a static IP address. We have the same problem booting into OS X. Our network system preference will allow us to connect via airport and again we try to configure PPPoE on the base station with the same results. Our problem is worse because I haven?t tracked down an OS X version of something equivalent to MacPoet as a workaround. The root of the problem is attaining the correct PPPoE configuration within the AirPort base station to work with Verizon. We have installed the Airport version 2.0.4 software under OS 9 (2.0.5 under OS X). Anyone know of a solution? This should be a no-brainer and so far, that?s exactly how I feel-No Brain!
