BROADBAND OVER PPoe Internet connect keeps asking me a reminder

I recently got a broadband connection that runs through the ethernet via PPPoe, Actually, as I'm writing this it's after popping up again... It states:
Internet Connect, This is your reminder that your connection is still active. Do you wish to remain connected?
Athough this is a good feature there seems to be no option to knock it off, and this is very irritating since my broadband connection is always on
Is there any way to stop this from happening?
Thanks for everything
Peter

Internet Connect Keeps Bugging Me

Every 15 minutes or so while I'm online, Internet Connect keeps asking me whether or not I want to stay connected. Is there any way I can stop it from doing that? It's annoying.

Hi,
System Preferences -> Network -> (Your connection type) -> PPP -> (PPP Options...) -> Prompt every XX minutes to maintain connection

HT5625 My wireless internet connection keeps defaulting from my network to a neighbors' when the computer is left idle for a few minutes. How do I reset to my stay on my network?

My default internet connection keeps defaulting to a neighbors' network when left idle for a few minutes. How do I reset to use my network?

Likely both of you have Open networks and the Mac is just connecting to the strongest one, hopefully it's just that.
If you set a encryption and a password, then it shouldn't be doing this.
WiFi security issues, at home and WiFi hotspots
If you can't do this yourself, then have a local geek come by and set you up.
Also if you head to System Preferences > Network > Airport > Advanced, there might be a connection list, you drag your connection to the top and remove the ones your not going to use.

'Internet Connect' keeps coming up

My internet was down all day yesterday (SBC-Yahoo DSL). Today it is back up. All morning I continue to get the 'Internet Connect' box that comes up and asks if I would like to keep the connection. My 'Location' is set to 'Automatic' and the 'Show' is set to 'Network Status'.
How do I change my settings to stop this box from popping up every 15 minutes or so?

Thank you, Niel.
Have made the changes. Will see if this fixes the problem. If not too much trouble could you take a look at my 'connection' problem (another post) and let me know if you can figure that one out.
Thanks so much for your help!

Internet connection keeps dropping at night

I'm having a bit of a weird problem with my internet connection. I connect via an ethernet cable and the connection keeps dropping. It generally starts after 7pm and seems to be every 40 minutes. I have changed the microfilters and ethernet cable but I'm still getting this problem. The really weird thing is that all four lights on the hub are blue but the computer cannot connect to the router. Sometimes the connection will just drop other times it will say limited connection. I've finally had to resort to windows diagnostics and sometimes even that doesn't work. I swapped my black hub with the old white one and I didn't have this problem of the connection dropping but my connection speed dropped to 1.5 - 2mb.
I was thinking maybe there was something wrong with my ethernet card but now I think it must be something in the black hub because the white one worked. Am I correct in thinking I need a new router?

Installing Sprint Broadband High Speed Internet Connection

I am getting 11bps internet connection with my dial-up server, AOL.
Sprint has sent me the materials that are, for a huge price of $69 a month, supposed to give me broadband speed which I simply must have in order to attend online art classes which I am beginning next week.
Does it make any difference if I insert the disk before the laptop is turned on, or if I insert it while the laptop is already turned on?
I am totally scared to death to do this. I'm afraid something will go awry and I will screw things up. Any one here who has been through this? And knows the possible pitfalls? And can guide me through it?
I've read the printed instructions through 3 times and they are NO help. They are not clear or informative, so that I feel sure and secure of what to do and what to do next. I am floundering....and the clock is ticking! Help!

Hi Cyan,
No worries either way on the disk, but no benefit of having it in first... you must still be a little bit stuck in the Windows® universe!
There'll be an installer once you open the CD, but it won't boot your Mac like some PC stuff does.
In fact, I think you/we can set it up without their CD even.
Seriously, don't worry yourself on this, it'll be easier than the documentation, and if that weren't enough, if I or others can't help you, I'll put out a Bat Signal for the best AOL helper in the whole world... Ali B., and help is but a parsec away.

Internet Connection Keeps Dropping

So for a couple of months now my internet connection has been randomly dropping out. It happens sometimes a couple of times a night, sometimes not at all. When the connection drops out the router seems to power off (all lights turn off, power light turns red). After a couple minutes the router seems to reboot and everything is fine. During this time FiOS TV continues to work.
I have now had 3 new routers and new ONT. None of this has solved the problem. I have tried multiple coax lines and that hasn't solved the issue. I have tried moving the router to a location with better ventilation and that hasn't solved the issue. I have tried plugging the router into a UPS and that hasn't solved the issue. I have tried plugging the ONT into a UPS and that hasn't solved the issue.
I am about ready to drop FiOS all together, a connection that randomly drops out multiple times a night just is not usable. I can't play any internet games for fear of getting disconnected, I can't watch videos without it stopping halfway through. I have a tech coming out Friday but I am not sure what they can do.
Does anyone have some suggestions?

Yeah, I have a suggestion, read this: http://forums.verizon.com/t5/FiOS-Internet/Verizon-FIOS-Router-Actiontec-MI424WR-GEN3I-Issue-Dropped...

My internet connection keeps reverting back to using a manual proxy server configuration pointing at 127.0.0.1 Port 55414. I've tried the help regarding the user.js and prefs.js files but still it continues to revert to the manual proxy configuration!

I know how to change my network settings to fix my internet connection, I just select "Auto-detect network settings for this network" under Tools, Options, Network, Settings. However every time I close down Firefox it reverts to the manual proxy configuration pointing to 127.0.0.1 Port 55414.
I've tried all the suggestions under saving your preferences but this hasn't worked so I'm at a loss as to what to do next. If I can't sort this I'll have to revert back to Internet Explorer as this doesn't have this problem!

After upgrading to IOS 8, the password for my internet connection keeps telling me is incorrect (when I know it is correct). Has anyone else experienced this?

Internet connection was disconnected, and now when I try to log back into my same network, it tells me my password is incorrect. Have validated with my ISP that it is correct.

just upgraded to 8.1, and that took care of the problem!

I have a Mac pro, Macbook Pro and iphone. All have problems with the internet connection especially after any short period of in activity.

Outlook 2003 and my modem connection keeps asking me for my password!

And it's getting REALLY annoying to have to type this in everytime.
Modem keeps asking me for my WEP, which is already saved in the settings.
Outlook 2003 (Vista) keeps asking me for my password for receiving and sending email everytime. This password is ALSO saved in the settings. Oh, and then I get an error message stating it cannot perform these functions.
This never used to happen during dial-up when I had it. This is excruciatingly annoying.
With outlook, it was happening on and off, but now consistently.
Modem, just started today.

Internet Explorer keeps asking if it is okay to run Adobe Flash Player.

I am having a problem with Adobe Flash Player working with Internet Explorer 11. Whenever I visit a site that has content that needs Flash Player to load, Internet Explorer prompts me asking me if it is okay. When I see allow, all that happens is the website refreshes and instead of displaying the content, I am asked again. This happens over and over. What can I do about it?

My setting is medium-high. Here's a more detailed description of my problem:
I am having a problem with Adobe Flash Player with Internet Explorer 11. The problem is that whenever I visit a website that has content that needs the flash player in order to work, Internet Explorer asks me if it is okay to run the content. When I click "Allow", the page refreshes and I am asked again. I do not understand why it behaves this way because I have all Adobe plugins for Internet Explorer activated.

ATV does not streaming over my internet-connection via cable-model but very fine over my umts-modem. Whats the Problem?

Hello Community! At first sorry for my not perfectly english.
I dont understand this issue. I've a ATV2 and have no problems to stream videos from youtube or videos from my macbook. But if i want to rent a film from the itunes-store i get a message that die film ist ready in many hours (3 to 5) but this status is never changing - i've been waiting for 2 days an the message is the same.
When i connect the ATV whit my 3G-Huawei-UMTS-Modem it takes only a few seconds and the film starts.
My internetconnection by cablemodem ist very well - i've 13 Mbit down and 512 kbit up ... ist's many more than the UMTS-modem ...
I'm searching in the internet for any requirements, that ATV want's to have ... nothing. I want to ask my ISP but he have the chance for the simple answer ... well, the internet is working, it must be a problem whith die ATV or the Itunes-store ... and what's my counterattak?
Please, if anybody have a idea or any tip ... i'm very thankfull.

The Ethernet cable from the modem should be connected to the AirPort's WAN (circle of dots) port and a second Ethernet cable should be connected between the AirPort's LAN (opposing arrows) port and the Ethernet port on the Apple TV. Is this the case?
If so, what is the make & model of the modem that the AirPort is connected to. Also what is the exact model of both the AirPort and the Apple TV?

Internet Accounts keeps asking for Google password

I've enabled 2-step verification on my Google account.
I've had this account set up in Mail.app so it has an entry in my System Preferences > Internet Accounts
Now, with 2-step from Google, there are Application specific passwords. Mail.app can no longer use my Google account password. I had to log in to Google and create a password just for Mac Mail.app.
That worked just fine. Mail is now checking my Gmail for me.
When I open System Preferences > Internet Accounts and look at my Google account, it asks for my password. My Google ID password no longer works, as I'd expect. So I entered my Application Specific password for Mail.app.
This is the problem. It asks me three times, every time I want to look at my Google account details in System Preferences.
Sound familiar to anyone? Anyone solve this?
I tried creating an app specific password for System Preferences, but that didn't work.

I just had exactly the same issue!
Some extra info:
Happened only in 2 of my gmail account (have several)
One of them had 2nd factor auth enabled (account 1)
The other one use simply a password (account 2)
Both accounts accept the password on the 3rd try
for the account ,1 it is the application specific password
for the account, 2 it is the normal account password
Moreover:
account 1 uses: Mail, Contacts and Calendar
account 2 uses only Mail
Right now the issue in both accounts is 100% reproducible
Account 2's password is rather long (>18 chars) and complex (Upper, Lower, Number and Symbols)
This could indicate and issue, but I bet there many more user who had such extremes
Even if that was the issue, account 1's application specific password is pretty simple and of a fixed size
Seems like a bug on Apple's side...

Sys Internet Accounts keeps asking for gmail passwords

I have three gmail accounts within Mac Mail and ever since last Yosemite software update, the Internet Accounts alert from System Preferences pops up prompting me to enter password again. This is annoying. Any suggestions?

Applications/Utilities/Keychain Access - try deleting the passwords there. While there, Keychain Access menu/First Aid.
