Any ideas?  I probably have something wrong in my computer settings.

You should restore your modem to router condition and set the Airport Express to 'Bridge Mode'. A full explanation and the method of doing this is here:

  • I am constantly receiving an error message that says "Could not find a PPPoE Server." My wireless internet connection seems to working fine, I'm not having any issues. How do I get rid of this error message?

    A few weeks ago my computer had lost the connection to the wireless internet. I set it up again and was able to connect to the internet, however since then I've been receiving an error message "Could not find a PPPoE Server." I went back into Preferences and unchecked the PPPoE server option but the error message still pops up.
    Any idea how to fix it?

    In the Network pane of System Prefences, do you have duplicate services on the left column? When you "set it up again", you might have duplicated a service and both (the good working one and the previous that lost connection) might be trying to connect at the same time.

  • Internet Connect Could not find a PPPoE server

    We just bought the new MacBook Pro and set it all up ok and yesterday bought a D-Link Wireless ADSL router.
    We can get onto the D-Link network fine and full signal is shown but when we try to connect the error "Internet Connect: Could not find a PPPoE server" comes up.
    Does anyone know what the problem is?
    I looked at a couple of other threads with similar tpics but none of them seemed to help me :S
    Do I just need to contact BT about it as they are our server or is it something setup wrongly?
    I hope you can help me
    Lizi

    ok, thanks
    I've done that but it still doesn't work
    whats VPN? and do I have to fill in that first(ie. Server address, not that i know what it would be, Account name and Password)? and PTTP or L2TP?
    this s totally conusing me...

  • Error Msg: "internet connect" "could not find a pppoe server"

    Hi,
    I'm a mac newbie and am having problems with my new MacBook that I just bought and setup yesterday. When the setup asst is asking questions when I first started the computer, I mistakenly chose connect via pppoe. Then, when the setup asst ended, I realized my mistake (b/c I am using a dsl connection that I plug in through my ethernet port), went into system preferences--network-- and chose ethernet, using DHCP. Now I am able to connect to the internet and get my mail, but I keep getting a pop-up window called "Internet Connect" that says "Could not find a PPPOE server". Can someone tell me what I need to change? Thanks.

    Welcome to Apple Discussions:
    In Network Preferences, where you setup the DHCP, click configure again and select Create PPPoE service, and remove/undo whatever you entered in those dialog boxes. Then re-select DHCP.
    Leave the default name, PPPoE but just remove everything else.
    If there are any check boxes to connect via PPPoE, be sure they are unchecked.
    If that does not help, then in your user library/preferences directory, drag the following file to the desktop and reboot
    com.apple.internetconnect.plist
    That should take care of it.

  • Could not find a PPPoE server problem.

    I have been running my G4 plugged into a netgear ethernet hub for quite some time to get online. I also have a wireless router connected to it on which I run my windows laptops. I never had a problem having them all online at one time. I didn't use my G4 for a few weeks, when I turned it back on and tried to get online, I got the "could not find a PPPoE server" message. If I unplug the ethernet cable from the hub and plug it directly to the DSL modem, it connects with no problem, plug it back into the hub and it won't connect. I swapped the hub for a Linksys 5 port ethernet 10/100 switch. Same thing happens and I get the same message, but it will not get online if any of the PCs are online, if I shut the PCs down then the mac gets online, but if I have the mac online then the PCs will not connect. I have been on the phone with the drones from earthlink and they have been useless. If you tell them that you are running any kind of routing device the will not help you at all. I am at a loss as to how to get around this, like I said, it was all working fine before. I am not sure if the problem is at my end or if earthlink did something at their end. Any help would be greatly appreciated.

    Do you need to "spoof" the MAC address of the router or hub? some ISPs actually read and register the hardware MAC address of the first two devices downlinked. Modem and router, modem and G4, etc.
    I stopped using a hub once switches got inexpensive and routers came with switch capability. Now have an all in one modem + router/switch which simplifies setup, wires, and only one device to worry about (but have backup modem and router etc from before in case anything should happen).
    Possible that something happened. Or that your router needs to be reset. Or that a storm did something while you were gone, though you seem to have swapped devices enough to rule that part out. Or a bad cat5 cable that a mouse or cat gnawed on.
    My guess is set the Linksys to the same MAC address of the hub you were using or call Earthlink again (hard I know) and have them re-authenticate the new router's MAC address.
    Do you have a surge protector in front of your modem? and again an RJ45 filter before it goes out to your router or G4? I put all my equipment on APC UPS and going through surge and line protection to protect ethernet ports and equipment.

    Hi Roger,
    Your profile doesn't say where you are but it's probable that you shouldn't be trying to connect over PPPoE.
    Have a look at my advice in This Thread and see if that does the trick.

  • "Could not find a PPPoE server"  help

    "Could not find a PPPoE server" this is the message I get when I try to connect to the internet via my wireless netgear modem. I have other Pcs which use this modem and all work fine (non of them are Macs) I have previously been able to connect using my Mac but I haven't been on for while. I tried recently and this is the message I get.
    It shows that the connection to my network is very good but it cannot find a PPPoE server.
    I have gone to System Preferences>Network>PPPoE where it shows my 'service provider' 'account name' and 'password'. The password is only showing 8 digits but my actual password for my wireless network has 10 digits, each time I try to change the password and click 'apply' it overrides it and puts the password back to 8 digits.
    How can I solve this problem and get my mac to connect to my wireless network?

    Thank you for your reply, I followed your instructions and found the password for my network in keychain access>show password as you suggested, it shows my password is the very same password that I have been trying to use.
    I deleted the old airport account and used the assistant to set up a new account, it asks me to select the network I wish to join and then asks me to put in my selected network password. I put in my password exactly as written in the keychain access and it says "sorry the password you entered is invalid"
    I have deleted the password in keychain access and retyped it and pressed save, tried the new account process again and it still says 'invalid password'
    Any idea what's going on?

  • Network Connection - could not find a PPPoE server

    This question is different from other similar ones I've read.
      I have a Windows box that I use every day, connected to DSL by ethernet to a D-Link modem/router. I frequently connect/disconnect my MacBook Pro 10.6.8 and, until recently, all was well. It would be online as soon as it booted up. Now, while my Windows machine still gets online fine, MacBook says my ethernet is connected, but I can't get online. My DHCP is fine, but when I click the connect button for PPPoE, I get the message "Network Connection - could not find a PPPoE server". I didn't look but I'm assuming it was using both DHCP and PPPoE when it was working properly.
      Took it to the shop and as soon as they plugged it in, it was online, with both the DHCP and PPPoE working.
      My ISP says it must be a driver issue for PPPoE, something to do with the configuration. So 2 shops say they can only fix it by coming to my home, instead of me taking it in to them. Are they correct, or how can I fix it myself, bearing in mind that I'm fairly new with this?

    Hi Grant,
    Got a different person at my ISP today, she says I have a dynamic IP address, so both my computers only need DHCP. We walked through my Windows machine network screen and it is definitely set up with just DHCP (just like the Mac). But she couldn't tell me why Windows was working and Mac wasn't. Which makes me wonder why the Apple shop told me to click on connect PPPoE!
    She said when I took my Mac to the shop and both DHCP and PPPoE were showing as active, only the DHCP was needed and actually doing anything. And she couldn't tell me why I couldn't just take my Mac plus the router into the shop and get it set up there.
    My UN and PW were 'admin', and I changed them long ago. Your instructions were identical to the router manual, but she couldn't tell me how to change them back to my chosen names if I followed those instructions. She also said a new router might fix the problem.
    Everybody seems to have different ideas (in addition to the 2 sales pitches), and I'll admit that I'm concerned that if I re-set the router it might mess up Windows so it doesn't work either. So I'm frozen!

  • Why this message "Could not find layout Default Echo GB"

    Why am I getting the message "Could not find layout Default Echo GB"  i.e. no Reverb effects?

    I get the same message and it would be interested if others have the same issuesthat is general bug
    The new GB 10.0.3 now lets you edit the Master Tracks Effects (Reverb and Echo), the legacy ones from GB11. However, when you click the Edit button at the bottom of the Plugin area on a Track, the Smart Controls window switches to to the Master Track and selects the (new) Effects tab. And this is where it gets stuck. It seems that it can't find the Plugin Settings. Maybe a file path issue.
    Anybody had luck to accessing those settings?
    Hope that helps

  • 'The message could not be moved to the mailbox Trash' message when deleting

    Hello,
    I have a 3G and after upgrading to iOS4, whenever I delete messages from an Exchange mailbox on my iPhone, I get the message 'Unable to Move Message - The message could not be moved to the mailbox Trash'. Odd part is that the message IS moved to Trash. I also have a gmail account setup and that one works just fine. Really more of an annoyance than an issue, but it's growing more annoying by the minute. Any ideas?

  • After Saving File get Message "Could not find the included template"

    I have a strange issue going on and it's becoming very, very annoying.  When I edit a file on our web server (it's a virtual machine running Windows Server 2008) and then try to view it in my browser, I get the error message "Could not find the included template".  If I refresh the page (sometimes upwards of 40 times) my page with whatever changes I made will finally load.  I checked with our system administrator and he's not aware of what could be causing this. 
    It happens on whatever the most recent file I was working on.  If it's a ColdFusion file, I get the "Could not find the included template" error.  If it's a change to my stylesheet, the styles will not load.  Again, in both instances it takes hitting F5 upwards of 40 times until the page displays correctly. 
    Has anybody else ever encountered such an issue?  It's happening on two separate virtual servers (both Win 2008), one has CF9 installed and the other CF10.  It get's frustrating having to referesh before the page or stylesheet get picked up.  Any help or suggestions are appreciated!
    Thanks.

    That means that the file 'template.cfm' is not where
