Can't find PPPOE server

I installed Leopard yesterday, and after some headaches, all was working well. Not so today. Now, when I raise the lid on my sleeping MacBook Pro, airport sends the "connecting" scroll across the top of my screen, and then it doesn't connect, giving me the error message that it can't find a pppoe server.
I click on airport icon, click on my network, try to navigate to other sites and eventually it connects. But is is more than a pain. I don't have time to futz with this everyday.
C'mon Apple. This is pretty basic. What's wrong and how do I fix it?
I'm not super technical, and I shouldn't have to be. So, if someone can give me an explation in plain language I'd appreciate it.

Welcome to discussions. Before anyone attempts a solution I feel it would be a good idea if you disclosed the following information: what kind of modem are you using? Have you got a set-up cd from your isp? Does your isp actually requires its clients via PPPoE? I could direct you how to connect via PPPoE but if your isp requires a different kind of connection or you are using a router-modem it would be pointless.

Could not find PPPoe server

I connect to internet wireless and have no problems except I continue to get a popup saying "could not find PPPoe server". I just say ok but it continues to come up every so often. How can I stop it from continually coming up? This just started recently but I can't think of anything I have done that would cause it.

I am getting this same message. When I have the computer on a Could Not Connect To PPPOE Server box keeps coming up every few minutes or so, even if I don't have a web browser launched. I have cable internet through Time Warner Cable. I am using a dual-core Intel Mac Pro with Mac Os 10.5.8. I've had this set up for about two years and ut never used to be a problem, but a few months ago these error meassages started popping up out of no where. Even wierder is that I am connected to the internet with my cable modum, but the computer is still telling me that I'm not. I have called Time Warner and Apple several times, but no one can see where the problem is.

"Could not find PPPoE server" sudden error on DSL connection

I am having a serious issue I can't seem to solve.
I currently have two laptops running:
One PowerBookG4 running Tiger that stays connected to the internet through a regular DSL modem, and shares the signal through wifi to another laptop, a MacBookPro that connects by airport.
I have had this configuration for two years and never had any problems.
Recently my network service had a shutdown and came back up in a few hours. Ever since then - without ever changing any configurations - the PowerBook continuously gives me the error "Could not find PPPoE server".
But it is not a network problem because when I plug the cable into the MacBook Pro - that has the EXACT same network configurations as the PowerBook - it connects just fine.
My internet provider explained that it could be a configuration problem caused randomly and that I need to fix it, but I have no idea how to do it. Already scanned the disk, repaired permissions, everything seems fine.
My PPPoE username and password are correct.
Will I have to reinstall the system? Any help would be very very appreciated.

Hi Fernanda , and a warm welcome to the forums!
The Interface that connects to the Internet, needs to be drug to the top of Network>Show:>Network Port Configurations and checked ON. So drag Ethernet up there on the PB if it isn't.
I don't think it'll require a reinstall, first let's drag these files to the Desktop, reboot, and setup everything again...

Since upgrading to Firefox 27.0 some webpages will not load when I click on them. It gives me a message saying that Firefox can't find the server.

Since upgrading to Firefox 27.0 some webpages will not load when I click on them. It gives me a message saying that Firefox can't find the server. I have to click the link several time before it will load and sometimes when they do load it does not show the page right. It is like the HTML is messed up or something. I have tried everything I can think of. I started in safe mode, still did it., I removed add-ons, still did it., I reset Firefox and still did it., I completely uninstalled Firefox and re-installed Firefox and it still does it. I have tried Malware Bytes Anti-Malware scans and Avast boot-time scans and found no malware or viruses. I have found that those websites open the first time with no problems on my IE9 and they used to do so in Firefox 26.0. I'm at my wit's end. The website links are in my bookmarks and are used all the time so they are trusted and my avast is set to allow them. They range from news websites to gun websites and everything I have read says that Mozilla does not filter those unless something has changed recently.

Try this as a first step; 
Clear the Cache '''''Firefox/Tools > Options > Advanced > Network > Cached Web Content: "Clear Now"''''' 
and 
Remove Cookies '''''Firefox/Tools > Options > Privacy > Cookies: "Show Cookies"''''' 
If there is still a problem,
'''''[https://support.mozilla.org/en-US/kb/troubleshoot-firefox-issues-using-safe-mode Start Firefox in Safe Mode]'''''
While you are in safe mode;
'''''Firefox Options > Advanced > General'''''. Look for and turn off '''Use Hardware Acceleration'''.

Safari can't find the server.

I updated to Ilife08....I went to iweb and added some pages to the site....i published the pages...I got the announce your site message...I did that....I then went to visit site and I got Safari can’t find the server.Safari can’t open the page “http://www.michaelcarlucci.com/Mickeyt” because it can’t find the server “www.michaelcarlucci.com”. I have tried everything and I cant publish anything...I tried adding a site and copying the old pages to it...that did not work...I tried changing the site name ...that didn't work....when I open Iweb...everthing is there...but when i go to publish...it will do everthing and send me the announce and visit...but when i go to visit...i still get the same message...+*ok...I give up....*+and to top it all off the pictures look aweful...they are super saturated in reds....so what i want to do is throw it all out and start over...and hopefully it will get me back to where I began...I copied everything in the site folder and put it in a file on my desk top....but this was after I had all the trouble...everythingseems to be there though...but I am not sure if I would know if anything is missing....the domain was changed from domain to domain 2...so I guess the up grade worked....
How do I throw the site away....delete everything and then start from scratch? I must have done something but I couldn't tell you what I did...I've read everything on these forums and have spent two days and a night trying to fix it...

well i bet that is a good guess....I did go there and change the name....and it has not been 48 hours yet...the only problem is that I have now published to file on my desktop.....and it worked from there....Then I published all to .mac.....i got the anounce and visit pop up...when i went to visit....it doesn't work....but when I went to the site from my file I copied the address on the web page....which is http://web.mac.com/micluc/MichaelTrower_Carlucci/Welcome1.html.....I bookmarked it and just for the heck of it I went to the last page on digital painting and changed to photos with push pins....I then published....I still get the message from the visit....but when I drop in http://web.mac.com/micluc/MichaelTrower_Carlucci/Welcome1.html... the changes where there and everything is working...have I fixed it...or have I just made it possible for me to get there....and it is actually not the right way as I can't visit the site from Iweb itself....so when the 48 hours is up and new DNS settings show up...will i be in the same mess? thank you for helping me with this...

"Safari can't open the page because it can't find the server"

I just bought my iPhone. The first time I attempted to log onto my home wireless network (US Robotics Wireless Router) the iPhone performed perfectly. However, the next time I attempted to logon and surf it gave me the "Safari can't open the page because it can't find the server" error message. I tried a variety of things which didn't work. I called the Apple Tech Support. Turning off the router and rebooting it was the only thing that worked. I thought my problem was resolved because after cycling the router the iPhone worked great once again. But . . . later the same day I attempted to connect to the router and the same thing happened and I got the error message. I attempted to power cycle the router just like before but this time it did not work! Help! Bad router? Wrong settings on router or iPhone?

Do you have other wireless devices connected to this same router? Do they work?
I really can't help you much but to say that when my router exhibited this issue it was accross the board (all notebooks would connect immediately following a router restart, but would loss connectivity until I rebooted the router again). In my case the only solution that was permanent was to replace the router.
You may also try restarting the phone and the router, setup security - WEP - (or disable security) on the router and phone, and/or try a different wi-fi channel (may actually help).

Can't find the server for a site, multiple browsers, multiple computers

In recent weeks, possibly coinciding with updates in Firefox (running 3.6.10), Safari (5.0.2) and iTunes (10.0.1), I have only received the prompt, "can't find server" when attempting to connect to the site kcrw.com. Others can get it on their computers in other places, and my iPhone can access when on 3G, but our network here seems affected because all the computers [All macs, some laptops and some desktops, running on OS 10.5.8] here receive this message. I used to be able to go to this site, a radio station, and stream audio or download podcasts. My ISP ran a ping test to the site's server and said that went through, but the browsers and iTunes don't seem to be able to make the transformation to anything I can read. What kind of a problem is this? Apple care was no help either.

HI Alice,
From your Safari menu bar click Safari / Preferences then select the Advanced tab. Now click: Change Settings. That will prompted your System Preferences / Network pane. Make sure the Proxies tab is selected.
If any of the boxes are checked under: Select a protocol to configure.
That could be a factor. If there are, deselect, then click the OK button.
Quit Safari. Relaunch Safari and see if that made a difference.
If it's not a proxy issue, go to a website. If you see the "can't find the server" try reloading the page.
Command + R
Also, try Open DNS - Free / Basic . Includes anti phishing filters.
And help here to manually add DNS. Topic : Manually provided DNS server addresses are higher priority than DHCP's

"Safari Can't Find the Server" is chronic in Safari under Snow Leopard...

Since moving to Snow Leopard (or perhaps it is just an updated Safari in SL and otherwise not related to SL??) when my Mac starts up from sleep with Safari being already open, I typically find a blank message with "Safari Can't Find the Server"... And just clicking on pages, I sometimes get that same message. Sometimes I get the spinning gear (for way too long) and I've learned to stop it and just click the same link again and more often than not, it opens immediately the second time...
Any ideas??? Is this a bug that Apple needs to fix or do I need to do something to Safari (or something else) to fix this problem???
thanks... bob...

Whoa... Now I'm really confused... When I go to my System Preferences, then Network, highlight Airport, then click on Advanced, then choose the DNS tab, all I see under DNS Servers is the internal IP address of my Apple Router (10.x.x.x).. And next to that under Search Domains is hsd1.ca.comcast.net... And that is all there is... And I didn't set any of that up... When I bought my Apple Extreme Router a couple years ago, I was so impressed because I came home, plugged it in, basically said "GO" and the router set it all up and just worked... And I'm pretty sure (though not positive) that the Router put the 10.x.x.x in that preference panel, in other words, pointed to itself for DNS services...
This is effectively saying that the DNS configured in the router will be the default.
So help me understand... If I change the DNS settings on the mac from 10.x.x.x to the OpenDNS values, the router would still have the Comcast values in it??? How does that work??? And if I only change them on my mac, then the rest of the computers on my home network would still be using the original Comcast DNS servers as established on the router, yes??? I mean I think that would have to be...
If you change your Mac, that is what it will use. Other computers will use whatever
they are configured to use.
See my confusion??? Again, I know only enough about Network settings to know that if I click a wrong button I could make a lot of trouble... So I don't move until I understand what at least a little more than clearly I know now...
So how do local (mac) settings for DNS play (or not) with DNS settings up at the router level???
The local settings should override anything else since that is what will
be used first. They have no interaction with what is at the router level.
thanks... bob..

The Safari Can't Find The Server - Error!

After updating my iPad and Mac OSX to the latest version, I am constantly getting 'The Safari Can't find the server' error on valid addresses. I have to refresh a few times to access the website.
I have gone through many posts and I gathere that it is not a Mac issue, but something to do with network settings - DHCP/Proxy. But I still could not figure out how to solve the problem.
If someone can guide/advise me then that would be a great help..
Thanks

I'm having similar issues with Safari saying it can not find the server. Tumblr and Zooniverse sites are particularly troublesome, even with refreshing. I have checked the status of their servers and they are up and running without issues. I can access them eventually but have to close the current tab and reopen later. However, when I use Chrome or Firefox I can access the sites with no problem. It's not a local network problem as I can access the internet and those sites on my iPhone and all other sites. It appears to be an issue with Safai.
Safari Version 5.1.1 (7534.51.22)

I frequently get the "Firefox can't find the server" error message.

I frequently get the "Firefox can't find the server" error message. Refreshing the page normally causes the page to load, although sometimes it takes more than one try.
I have checked my connection settings. IPv6 and DNS prefetching are disabled, as recommended by this article: https://support.mozilla.com/en-US/kb/Firefox%20cannot%20load%20websites%20but%20other%20programs%20can?s=Firefox+can%27t+find+the+server+at&r=1&as=s

A possible cause is security software (firewall) that blocks or restricts Firefox or the plugin-container process without informing you, possibly after detecting changes (update) to the Firefox program.
Remove all rules for Firefox from the permissions list in the firewall and let your firewall ask again for permission to get full unrestricted access to internet for Firefox and the plugin-container process and the updater process.

Discoveryd process uses 100% CPU - Safari Can't find the server

Hello
Since upgrading to Yosemite, I lose connection to the internet 2 or 3 times a day. (Outlook goes offline at the same time)
This is with a wired connection. (Wi-Fi is turned off)
Safari gives me the "Safari Can't Find the Server" message.
Restarting the computer solves the issue temporarily.
While I'm unable to connect to the internet, Activity Monitor shows a process named "discoveryd" that uses 100% CPU.
Force quitting this process gives me back access to the internet instantly. Unfortunately, I suffered a kernel panic (auto restart) a few minutes after force quitting discoveryd. I'm not 100% sure those 2 are related but it would be an odd coincidence as I never experienced had a single kernel on that system. Haven't tried force quitting that process since.
I'm using this iMac in a work environment. (Connected to a windows file server and exchange)
This issue has been happening 2-3 times a day since the day I upgraded to Yosemite.
Any pointers on what could fix this issue ?
Thanks

Why do I keep getting a "Safari can't find the server" message? Why does the connection keep dropping out?

When I open Safari and browse, I often get this message: "Safari can't find the server". I will then wait for at least 5 minutes, try the site again, and it will open, but then it just keeps happening on just about all websites now. These are very stable sites. I have had two technicians from my ISP try and fix the problem but with no success. I went to the Apple store, they told me to reset Safari - which I did - but that didn't work either. I am at my wit's end with this.Can someone please help?

Check to see if the firewall is turned on.
Open System Preferences > Security & Privacy > Firewall
If the firewall was turned off, try this DNS server.
Open System Preferences > Network > Advanced > DNS
Click + and type:
208.67.222.222
Click + again and do the same.
208.67.220.220
Click OK.
Quit and relaunch Safari to test.

Firefox can't find the server at playfi.sh

every time that I try to click on a link for Playfish free gifts for apps that I play through Facebook or through an email to a link being offered by Playfish, I get the following message:
Server not found
Firefox can't find the server at playfi.sh.
Check the address for typing errors such as
ww.example.com instead of
www.example.com
If you are unable to load any pages, check your computer's network
connection.
If your computer or network is protected by a firewall or proxy, make sure
that Firefox is permitted to access the Web.
I have cleaned cache, checked firewall, allowed in pop-up blocker, everything and nothing works... I can play the apps with no problem, it is only when trying to collect the items offered as gifts from Playfish.

You have malware.

Slow-Start Up and "can not find the server" dialog box

hi there -
2 year old Ibook G4. When I try to open either Safari or Netscape the "can not find the server" box pops up.. I have a solid connection wi-fi for the wireless signal is on full strength. I have cleared my cache. Also I am experiencing start-ups that are taking 2-3 minutes. The color wheel just keeps spinning.Also, I have done repair and I renewed the DHCD. Not sure what else to do?

as a guess, spinning wheel could be caused by failing hard drive.
often failing hard drives will pass all tests by the utilities.
you may want to back up any important files just in case.
if the iBook boots up from the OS install CD/DVD with no problems, issues could be caused by the corrupted files on the hard drive or failing drive.
