Hi Barry, Do you have anything plugged into the ethernet slot? Open Airport Utility, double click of Base Station, then check under 'Internet' - Internet Connection that you have Connect Using: Ethernet Configure IPv4: Using DHCP Cheers, Ronni 17 MacBook Pro Intel Core 2 Duo 2.4 GHz / 4GB / 800MHz / 500GB OS X 10.6.2 Snow Leopard Windows 7 Ultimate (under sufferance) -- The WA Macintosh User Group Mailing List -- Archives - http://www.wamug.org.au/mailinglist/archives.shtml Guidelines - http://www.wamug.org.au/mailinglist/guidelines.shtml Unsubscribe - mailto:wamug-unsubscr...@wamug.org.au
Re: PPPoE error message
Ronni Thanks, I had checked these settings but have just rechecked and all appears as it should, as one would expect, as I have no trouble with my internet connection only the appearance of the warning!
