DSL usually uses Point to Point Protocol over Ethernet (PPPoE), which requires a username and password. Go to System Preferences, click Network, then Show: Built-in Ethernet, and click the PPPoE tab and verify your username and password. Also be sure that the Connect using PPPoE checkbox is checked!

I can give you a link that deals with the internet connection   Many of the problems can be solved by making software changes or small hardware corrections. Detailed instructions at http://tinyurl.com/yl62gz  Try here  if you can get what you wanted

You can use the network connection wizard in the control panel.  You can link them together with a USB to USB.  You didn't mention if you were using, dial up or broadband.  Anyway this link may aid you:\n\nGood Luck

Got to the connection tab in your Internet Explorer properties.  Use the connection wizard in there to set up for a connection that is always on...best to use the manual set up in the wizard.\n\nBe sure you have your ethernet cards drivers installed and the device manager shows the NIC card in the hardware profile before you run the wizard.

You cannot get it to connect before logon or run as a service. The most you can do is set it up to auto-connect when your computer attempts to go to the internet.\n\nStart-Settings-Control Panel-Internet Options\nHit the Connections Tab and check "always dial my default connection".

You didn't indicate if your ISP is broadband cable or broadband DSL.  Mac OS X has built-in features that allow users to connect to a DSL Internet broadband service, using an assigned PPPoE login name and password for authentication. \n\n1.Click on the Apple Menu icon   on the Desktop menu bar.  \n2.Select System Preferences.\n3.In the System Preferences window, click on the Network icon.\n4.In the Network window, click on the selection arrows for the “Show” drop-down menu and choose Built-in Ethernet or Airport (depending on which connection method is being used).\n5.Click on the PPPoE tab.\n6.Check Connect using PPPoE.\n7.Click on the Apply Now button to save your changes.\n\nIf you have a router, this option should be unchecked, then configure the router for PPPoE.\n\nFor Cable broadband, the ISP normally gives you a software plus they may need to register your MAC Address (I believe its called an ethernet ID or address for mac OS).\n\n\nFor the second question... sorry, I'm not familiar with Mac OS settings when it comes to file sharing.\n\nOkay, knowing how frustrating this can be hope the following helps:\n\nThe Mac that will be doing the sharing:\n\n1.Choose System Preferences either from the Dock or from the Apple Menu. \n2. Select the "File Sharing" icon, under the "Internet and Network" catagory. \n3.Turn on File Sharing.\n\nThe Mac that will connect to the file sharing Mac\n\n1.In the Finder, select "Connect to Server..." from the Go menu. \n2.From the list that appears, navigate your way to your file sharing Mac's name, and click Connect.\n3.Enter your user name and password that you use when you log in normally on the Mac that is File Sharing. If the Mac your connecting to is running OS 9, then the user name and password will be the ones that you have set in the File Sharing Control Panel.\n4.The File Sharing Mac's hard drive icon will appear on your desktop. Congradulations, you're sharing! You can copy to or from your files on that Mac.\n5.Be sure you drag the icon of the File Shared Mac to the Trash (in the Dock) when you're done. This will log you off that computer.\n\nhttp://wcts.whitman.edu/whit.bits/october2002/MacintoshFileSharing/FileSharingOSX.html\n\n\nHere's another Article-\nhttp://helpdesk.wisc.edu/page.php?id=256\n\nAssign yourself a username and password\n\nIn order to allow you to access your files remotely, you will need to give yourself a username and password which will let you log in to your computer from another Macintosh. Open the File Sharing control panel (or Sharing Setup control panel on older versions of Mac OS), which is under Control Panels under the Apple menu. \n\nIn the Owner Name field, type the name that you would like to use as your username. If you wish, it can be the same as your e-mail username. Then, type a password of your choice into the Password field. This can also be the same as your e-mail password, but remember: no matter what you pick, be sure to keep your password secure. If someone knows your password, they could connect to your computer and access your files. In the Computer Name field (or Macintosh Name field on older versions of Mac OS), type in a name for your computer. It can be anything you like, but should be something that allows you to easily identify your own computer.\n\nOnce you have completed the above steps, click on the Start button in the File Sharing section of the window, directly below where you entered your username and password. You do not need to start Program Linking. \n\nCheck that your Macintosh is set up to use the network\n\nFile sharing uses a special communcation protocol called AppleTalk. This is different from the type of communication that occurs when you use the web or e-mail. Open the AppleTalk control panel, which is under Control Panels under the Apple () menu. Make sure Connect via is set to Ethernet. Your AppleTalk control panel should look something like this, thoug

I have a similar problem... I have an old apple power book, and I popped all the buttons out, and cleaned underneath of them. if you want to take the lap top apart, clean out the rubber buttons underneath it. otherwise spray it with compressed air. that worked for me, but you may not be wanting to go that far... or you could take it to the shop and let them do it.

Go into preferences, check the "connection" and try different options. You're probably having a firewall issue.

It would help if you provided more information eg state how you connect to the internet...wired modem or router or modem router.\nPeople are not going to give the best solutions to something so vague.\nIf you use a modem router try this for starters...unplug it from the mains, wait 10 seconds & then plug it back into the mains. Wait another 10 seconds & try accessing the internet again

Was it connected to a router or directly to the modem?  Either way power cycle the units, modem or router, to release the MAC address from the APR table.  The unit may not be able to issue another IP address till this is cleared.  See if that helps.

The internet uses TCP/IP, which is platform independent. You're provider may not know where to look to set up the Mac's tcp/ip settings. It's in System Preferences, Network, but odds are that your office is using DHCP to distribute ip addresses, and the Mac will automatically detect that, so you might not need to do anything other than connect to the LAN. \n\nIf you have more questions, try the site below.

I have never tried connecting from Mac OS to Windows, but I think the software below might help. Make sure that you're doing all the settings at your home computer ( ports on Firewall, Router etc ) . \n\nHope it helps...

You probably have cable internet. \n\nIn the settings for the router you have to setup MAC address cloning. I can't remember off the top of my head where it is in the settings. You have to setup it up so the router takes on the mac address of the PC the cable modem was originally attached to when the service was established. After that, the problem should go away.

Have you tried eBay, http://search.ebay.com/search/search.dll?cgiurl=http%3A%2F%2Fcgi.ebay.com%2Fws%2F&fkr=1&from=R8&satitle=powerbook+logic+board&category0=\n\nBut if it is under warranty I would contact Apple to see if they can fix it.  Even if it wasn't under warranty I would see how much it would cost to have it fixed.
