Error message "not connected via PPPoE" when trying to connect using airport wireless

I cannot connect to my wireless internet connection using my ibook laptop. Using airport, I keep getting the message "host cannot find the PPPoE" or something like that. Any ideas how to fix this?

Hi, Bob. Welcome to Apple Support Communities.
Which exact iBook model is it? ("iBook" covers a lot of different Mac models, each with different capabilities.)
You can choose from this list:
http://www.everymac.com/systems/apple/ibook/index-ibook.html
Which version of the operating system is it running now?
What kind of optical drive does it have? (CD-ROM, CD-RW, DVD, Combo, or SuperDrive?)

  • Time Capsule cannot connect via PPPoe when MacBook Pro can.

    I used to connect to the internet using my TC as a router, connecting via PPPoE using a DSL modem.
    While my ISP had a problem with their network, the TC stop connecting to the PPPoE host and the amber light kept blinking. Because this was taking too long, I decided to investigate this issue.
    I tried connecting my laptop directly to the modem, the restored my original configuration.
    My MacBook Pro connected via ethernet to the DSL modem, is able to connect to the internet using a PPPoE connection. When I try the same via the TC, it just doesn't connect!
    What should I do to troubleshoot this?
    Is it possible that it is related to my ISP? Even though the laptop manages to connect via PPPoE.
    Even the DSL modem when switched to router functionality is able to connect via PPPoE.
    Only the TC seems to fail. What could be the problem?
    (I have ruled out incorrect passwords and faulty wiring...)

    There is some extra info I need.
    What modem.. make and model..?? What kind of broadband?
    How is the Buffalo setup? Is it router or bridged and if router is it using pppoe?
    There is nothing wrong with keeping the buffalo .. it is a very reasonable router.. and just use the TC in bridge plugged into it..
    I have to confess I really dislike the airport utility v6 in Mountain Lion.. it is a kiddie toy version of the real v5 utility. Half your problems relate to the near to useless nature of the utility.
    Can you install 5.6 and then we can get somewhere.
    Here is howto..
    How to load 5.6 into ML.
    1. Download 5.6 for Lion.
    http://support.apple.com/kb/DL1482
    Click to open the dmg but do not attempt to install the pkg.. it won't work anyway.
    2. Download and install unpkg.
    http://www.timdoug.com/unpkg/
    Run unpkg on the desktop.. it is very simple.. drag the AirPortUtility56.pkg file over to unpkg.. and it will create a new directory of the same name on the desktop.. drill down.. applications utilities .. there lo and behold is Airport utility 5.6 .. drag it to your main utilities directory or just run it from current location.
    You cannot uninstall 6.1 so don't try.. and you cannot or should not run them both at the same time.. so just ignore the toyland version.. the plastic hammer.. and start using 5.6.. a real tool.

  • Error Message: "The parameter is incorrect" when trying to modify SSLs

    Like I wrote in my subject line, RoboHelp pop-ups the error message “The Parameter is incorrect” when I try to modify any SSL.
    What happens next, is that the “Print Document General” window opens, but does not allow me to select anything (the fields are blank).
    If I close the window and open it again, it seems to work until I have to select the styles from our Microsoft Word Template.
    Then the error message “The parameter is incorrect” appears again, and RoboHelp does not allow me to select anything but a stylesheet
    (which is not what I need).
    This is very strange, because not only  until recently I was able to build Word documents and PDFs, but also my colleagues are able to
    produce them out of my source.
    Even the old projects, that I was able to build, now I cannot.
    I do not have any problem in generating CHMs.
    Until now I have tried everything I found in the forum:
    I deleted the PSS file (also following the advice in your snippet number 14 from 10 – RoboHelp HTML –Features and Use).
    http://forums.adobe.com/thread/120022
    I reinstalled RoboHelp and the Adobe Technical Communication Suite (I also used CCleaner to delete the registries).
    http://forums.adobe.com/thread/598335
    I gave Administrator rights to all users in my computer (what seemed to work for some SSLs, but not for all)
    http://forums.adobe.com/thread/870339
    I am also looking at all programs that I installed since the last time I was able to build .docs in case there is a conflict, but I do not find anything!
    My computer has Windows 7 installed and I use the Adobe Technical Communication Suite 3.5, with RoboHelp 9.
    My Microsoft Office is 2010.
    Can somebody please help me? Did someone have the same problem?
    Thanks in advance.

    Hi there
    I know you said you reinstalled, but did you reinstall before or after you gave administrator rights to all users on your computer? And how many users *ARE* on your computer?
    Often you need administrator rights to properly install things.
    Cheers... Rick

  • Keep getting error message about Dynamically-related files when trying to view in "Live" mode

    I'm very new to all of this, but I have been following Adobe tutorials to try and get everything working (Setting up a PHP development environment for Dreamweaver | Adobe Developer Connection) . The database connection test in this section goes through fine, but then when I go to view the final step, viewing comments.php in "Live View," I get an error across the top. I have played with it a bit, so the error message changes somewhat, but basically it tells me that I have dynamically-related files that can't be loaded. Currently, it is because they can't be resolved, previously, it was because they could not be discovered. (I tried the "Discover" option which failed, after which I resorted to the "Setup" option, in which I changed my root folder from htcdocs to htcsdocs/kitchengallery — where I had all my PHP and site files — and tried again to no avail. So then I changed the settings in MAMP to correspond with the change from htcdocs to htcdocs/kitchengallery. Still no luck).
    I am using Dreamweaver CS6.
    I'm not sure what information someone might need to help me dig deeper into this issue, but I'm all ears!

    Usually this is caused when antivirus "Grabs" the drive to scan it in the background, and/or windows itself "Grabs" the drive for indexing and things. It also happens if you play a song off the ipod thru iTUnes, then stop it.
    Usually rebooting will force it to let go

  • Error msg "no modem found!" when trying to connect...

    Hi.
    I'm getting this error message when I tried to connect to N95 via bluetooth as modem, using "One Touch Access". I can use "One Touch Access" to connect with N95 via USB cable, though.
    My hardware is:
    Toshiba R150 laptop;
    Generic bluetooth adaptor with IVT BlueSoleil as driver;
    Windows SP2;
    PC Suite 6.86.9.3;
    Nokia N95
    Any solution?

    hi,
    i know you want bluetooth, but cable is really much better ya know...
    but if you insist on BT, well couple of thing i could suggest:
    test and make sure that BT is working properly, you can do this by sending files via bt on both ways
    make the N95 as default modem, then goto it and query it, just to make sure it is working well...
    thats all i could think of at the moment...

  • Why does my time capsule not recognize the password when trying to connect Apple TV, iPhone 4s or Canon printer

    I have tried to set up my wireless as before but the Time Capsule only recognizes my Macbook.  I have used the correct password but nothing is happening except an error message.  This should have been simple so what is the glitch.

    Not sure.. but I strongly recommend you start over.
    Use all names that comply with new Apple standard protocol .. ie SMB.. which means the names recommended in the airport utility are WRONG.. do not use them.
    That is especially important for the printer.
    SHORT.. names should be 10characters or less.. if you can manage it.. 20 at most.
    NO SPACES..
    PURE ALPHANUMERIC... no apostrophe, no other illegal characters.
    So call the TC .. TCgenx (x I replace with the actual generation of the product).
    Wireless name.. TCwifi
    Use only wireless passwords that also comply.. only a bit longer is ok.. 10-20 characters is usually plenty.. no spaces.. pure alphanumeric.
    No luck.. do some more.
    Set wireless names for the two bands to different values.. eg.. TC24ghz and TC5ghz
    Leave off the security..
    Test 2.4ghz band at channels 11, 6, 1
    Once it works put the security back on.

  • Error message in Audition 2.0 when trying to burn a CD: no devices found

    I am using Windows 7 and Adobe Audition 2.0.  on a new laptop (Asus).  When i try to burn a CD from the 'CD' workspace I get the error message 'no devices found'.  I have burned other CDs on this machine separately from Audition so i know the  Matsushita CD/DVD burner works.  How do I get Audition to recognize the burner device?  Thanks, Spintal

    The one time this happened to me, it turned out it was the fault of a Windows update and doing a system restore back to the first state prior to that update fixed it.
    From the number of times this crops up I suspect there are some other causes too--another thing I'd try is updated the drivers for the CD drive.

  • Error 9672 when trying to print using airport extreme

    I have just purchased a new imac running os x 10.5.1 and an airport extreme base station. I have a canon pixma mp530 printer and have on occasions successfully printed using the printer with the airport extreme but it has been inconsistent and I have never been able to locate the printer drivers in the utilities folder. So I thought I would download the latest drivers located in the canon website claiming that they were os x 10.5.1 compatible. Now I am unable to add the printer to my printer list in the finder as I get a 9672 error message and my screen freezes and I still have no printer in the utility folder. I have a ibook running tiger and the printer when connected to both the ibook and the imac using a firewire works perfectly. Has anyone else had these problems using a printer wirelessly or is there something I am missing. The internet works with base station with no problems.

    Despite being a total newbie, I good the damned thing to work--At least for now.
    I first unplugged the airport and then the printer. Plugged them both back in and then went to Canon's site to redownload the drivers. Restarted the Macbook pro and to my astonishment it worked. Again, at least for now.....
