Staying connected to the internet with PPPoE

I'm trying to recover the original network settings on my eMac, after the ISP tech support walked me through a number of changes in order to reestablish the DSL connection. I am connected to the internet, but I am frequently prompted with a question as to whether I want to stay connected. I do. I don't want to be prompted. What do I need to do?

Hi Roberta
Go to System Preferences - Network - Built-in-Ethernet - PPPoE - PPPoE Options - and turn
Connect automatically when needed - ON
Prompt every ... minutes to maintain connection - OFF
Disconnect if idle for ... minutes - OFF
You may also want to disable "disconnect when user logs out" and "when switching users".

    Are you in an area where it doesn't pick much wifi signal up. If yes try to move your device nearer to the wifi connection box

  • My iMac won't stay connected to the internet, even though all other computers in my house stay connected

    My iMac won't stay connected to the internet, even though all other computers in my house stay connected, and its connection is set up the same way my fiance's macbook is (his macbook is about three years older than my iMac). Every time my computer goes into sleep mode and I come back (even if it's mere seconds after giving the black screen) I have no internet connection. I discovered a workaround for it some time ago, but now that is working less and less, and now my computer randomly disconnects WHILE I'm actively using the internet. Just a few minutes ago, the connection refused to come back until I restarted my computer, even though once again all other computers in the house were connected. The workaround I discovered before and which doesn't work as reliably now, is to click opne Airport at the top right of the screen, click "Open Network Preferences," then click "Assist me," then click "Diagnostics," and wait for everything to turn green again, signalling a connection.

    Let's check the quality of your connection since signal strength alone does not insure a good connection. The "bars" that you see at the top of the iMac screen are there pretty much for show.
    Hold down the option key on the iMac while you click on the Apple icon at the upper left corner of your screen and select System Profiler
    Look down the list of items at the left of the window until you find the setting for Network, then click on AirPort.
    In the window to the right, look for any listings of your wireless network name. You may possibly see two listings for the wireless network name.
    We need for you to list the information that you see for Signal / Noise.  These will be negative numbers. Post back with your findings and we will continue.
    In the meantime, please move any cordless phones that you have or any other electronic devices that are near the iMac as far away as possible from the iMac.
    If the iMac is located in a corner or an enclosed area, give it as much room as possible since the wireless antenna is on the back of the iMac and it needs to be able to "see" the room.
    Anything that you can do to minimize the number of obstructions like walls or furniture etc between the iMac and the wireless router will help the cause as well.

  • My Macbook Pro suddenly won't stay connected to the internet.

    My Macbook Pro recently has had problems staying connected to the Internet. Our other Macbook Pro is having the same problems. I have already spoken with with our ISP, AT&T. After trying several things, they said that it may have to do with Safari and that they couldn't suggest any settings changes to our browser because it might disqualify any warranties that we have on our Notebook if another company makes changes to it. I've spent hours and hours trying to resolve this and it's driving me nuts. Also my wireless HP Printer won't stay connected either. Not long ago AT&T sent us a new modem/router (all-in-one), that is why I called AT&T to see if it was the new modem. But come to think of it, I had called AT&T because of this connectivity issue and now I'm thinking that it wasn't them at all. Maybe it has to do with Apple. I'm a Apple lover, so please help!!!

    Also my wireless HP Printer won't stay connected either.
    Does that mean it won't stay connected to the network, or it's not reachable from your Mac? There's a difference.

  • My Airport won't stay connected to the internet

    I was previously using ethernet to connect.  I have had the airport for a few months and can connect to the internet okay from my laptop.  I now wish to use my airport to connect.  I set it up without a problem and it does connect.  Problem is that I lose the connection after a minute or so.  I run through diagnostics which tells me my connection is okay.  It is at that point but I again lose connection after a minute or so.  Back to diagnostics and the circle of events continues.  I have re-started the computer to no avail.  Help anyone?

    I should say that my computer won't stay connected to the internet.  I have reset the airport.  The airport extreme works and connects fine with my laptop, ipad and iphone.

  • WRT 120N- Cannot connect to the internet with more than one PC at a time.

    Before I went on a three month vacation,I could connect 3 or 4 PC's either wireless or wired to my router with no problems at all.I have a desk top and a laptop computer which I use at home.After I returned,I found that I could connect to the internet with only one PC at a time.
    If I was say,connected via my laptop,my desk top would continuously keep getting disconnected and vice versa.I have been reading the suggestions from experts here and have done a few checks based on them.I also cannot get to my router page which is 192.168.1.1 I keep getting a message that says "Problem Loading Page" and this happens with both,Firefox and Internet Explorer.I am running Windows 7 - 32 bit on my desk top and Vista Home Premium on my laptop.
    I have opened the "Command Prompt" dialogue and pinged 192.168.1.1 and thereafter I typed in "ipconfig".These are the results:

    I presume that this model is a modem **bleep** router as I do not have a separate modem with my system.I have a DSL connection and the firmware version of my router is ver.1.0.If I recall,I did upgrade to the next firmware upgrade a few months after I purchased the router but I am not sure.
    I use both my PC's to run a small business venture and I am worried that resetting the router may cause some other problems and will stop me from using the internet.
    The Command Prompt information above was taken from my laptop.
    Any help will be really appreciated.
    Gerard.

    The results I obtained using ipconfig in the command prompt have already been mentioned in my OP.
    I do not know if the above result is what it is supposed to be but I still cannot access my router's home page.How do I verify if there is a proxy server and if there is one,how do I disable it in my browsers?This problem occured suddenly as a few months earlier all was well.It's getting rather frustrating.
    I suggest resetting the router. Make sure firmware is updated. You can download it here - http://homesupport.cisco.com/en-us/support/routers/WRT120N. After firmware upgrade, reset and reconfigure. Just access the link below to guide you setting up the router.

  • My iPod Touch will no longer stay connected to the internet

    Right before updating to iOS 6, I was using FaceTime and other various apps that require an internet connection, and they all worked just fine.
    After updating to iOS 6, I noticed that things took a much longer time to load, such as Facebook. I then noticed that FaceTime was now extremely laggy, and often disconnected within 30 seconds (note that both sides are using wi-fi, not data plan). Now my iPod won't even stay connected to the internet, it keeps automatically disconnecting itself when I try to use FaceTime and tells me to "Log in" whenever I try to re-connect, only to send me to an apple site that says my search could not be found?

    Though I'm not sure what that does, it was off o.O I turned it to auto, I am now able to use FaceTime but my App Store won't load any Categories, let's just hope Apple get's this sortded out soon.
    EDIT: For some reason I keep typing "not" instead of "now" T.T

    how do i connect to the internet with my ipad?

    Did you turn WiFi on in the Settings App? If WiFi is turned on, your iPad should be able to see any WiFi networks that you can connect to and you should be able to tap on one of those, enter a password if needed and then tap the join button.
    I get the feeling that you know this and the problem needs further explanation so ... Can you explain in more detail?

  • My imac and ipad2 will not connect to the internet with Windstream using an 2wire DSL modem.

    Help my brand new imac and ipad2 will not connect to the internet with Windstream using an "2WIRE" DSL modem.  Windstream tech service is useless.  i can connect with the built in router through Ethernet or wireless, but still no connecting to internet, help!  windstream said everything is working on their end, yea right.  What i do know is that both the mac and ipad work at other places and can connect with wireless connected to the internet, so i know it's not the apple products. 
    these are brand new machines with lion.
    This is my first mac, so I’m still new to how it works, which is not helping either so a detailed help would be great.  Please help before my wife losses it
    thanks

    There is a 2701HG-B, and a 2701HG-D.  If not labelled on the modem, ask Windstream which one they presently supply or how to tell the difference.
    By the way tell your wife it isn't that bad.  At least you have an ethernet DSL modem.  There were times where DSL modems had RJ-11, USB, and Ethernet, and all three were used to provide access.  At least now only the craziest DSL providers still use those modems.

  • Can no longer connect to the internet with the 580...

    Hi, my PC was able to connect to the internet with my 5800 via a USB cable.  Now, I can no longer connect to the internet with the 5800 via a USB cable. 
    I had never tried connecting the computer to the internet with the 5800 via Bluetooth prior to this incident, so I tried that.  Strangely, it works.  
    My question is how come I can no longer use the 5800 via USB as a modem, but how come the 5800 via Bluetooth still works as a working modem?
    Sorry, if my sentences are confusing.  I have a terrible headache at the moment.  While the Bluetooth connection works, I just feel better using the USB connection and knowing that my 5800 has a clean bill of health. 
    BTW, my PC is on Windows 7 Professional at the moment.  I've tried uninstalling the Ovi Suite and reinstalling it, but that didn't work.  I've also tried using PC suite instead of the Ovi Suite but that didn't work either.  What other options do I have, beside hard resetting the phone?  Thanks in advance.        
    Edit: BTW, the message shown when I tried to connect to the internet with the 5800 USB modem was "failed to establish a network connection".

  • Can't connect to the internet with airport or firewire

  • Can I connect to the internet with an Ipad in Santo Domingo, DR while I'm on vacation?

    Can I connect to the internet with an Ipad in Santo Domingo, DR while I'm on vacation?

    Lots of hotels in the DR have WiFi. And there is plenty of cellular coverage in Santo Domingo (and elsewhere).
    One thing to be careful of, the WiFi networks are usually not secured and are very vulnerable to people "listening" for passwords and user names, so don't do any financial transactions online and perhaps consider setting up some temporary passwords for the trip and changing them when you get home.
