Our DSL service does not uses "MacPoet" it uses PPPoE (PPP over Ethernet). I assume the MacPoet is something similar. However, Alan may have to explain it further. > Doesn't DSL just provide you with an IP address, either by DHCP or > otherwise, and away you go? Well, yes, DSL does just provide you with an IP address. But your computer does have to have a common means of communicating with the DSL equipment to access that IP address. > If not, exactly how do you "get connected"?
