"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...

  • 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.

  • Error message keeps popping up "Network Connection could not find PPPoe Server"

    I am trying to update my wife's iBook, 2,1 for my mom to use.  It is running OS 10.6.8.  Every time I wake up the computer an error message pops up saying "Network Connection could not find a PPPoe Server." It does it periodically when the computer is on.  It will drive my mom nuts and worry her.  Can anyone help me stop this from happening?
    Thanks,
    KC

        Help is right here, front and center caibadass. May I ask what's the reason for the mobile number change? Are you logged into My Verizon as the account owner to make such a change? If you can share the details then we can assist. Keep in mind that if the number is changed online then there is not a cost.
    Thank you...

  • Could not find provider msolap.4 error in universe connection

    I am trying to create a universe connection against a MS SQL Server 2008 SSAS cub with OLE DBfor OLAP Providers. When trying to connect to the db i get a error saying "Could not find provider msolap.4", has anybody encountered this before? I can't find any documentation about this.
    There is also a SQL Server 2005 SSAS installed on the db server which i have no problems to connect to.

  • AirPort: "Could not find PPPoE": Other threads = No Answers

    I searched though several threads from this forum (and other forums) and have yet to find the answer to my problem.
    The AirPort on my MacBook Pro (still have Mac OS X 10.4.11) works on college campus, free WiFi at coffee shops and in hotels, but it does not work at my parents house or my brothers house. I put in the password and it searches for the PPPoE for a while and then comes back saying "Could not find PPPoE". I am limited in my computer knowledge so basic language is appreciated.
    The router at my parents (the one I use most) is a:
    Wireless - G 2.4 GHz
    Broadband Router 802.11g
    with Speed Booster
    LINKSYS
    The Mac Address or Base Station ID is correct in AirPort except for the very last letter. AirPort reads a 'D', but the router's sticker has on it that is should be a 'B'. I don't know if that makes a difference or not, but since AirPort does it automatically I don't see how to go in and fix that anyways.
    Any suggestions or ideas about what is going on?

    PPPoE stands for "point-to-point protocol over ethernet". It's an approach to virtual private networking (VPN) that works like the old method of dialing up and ISP using a telephone. In this case, however, instead of physically dialing over a phone and using a modem, you're making the "phone call" (actually no different than any other Internet connection) over the already existing network. What you are doing is using the network connection to connect to another computer somewhere, and that computer is then making all the other subsequent Internet connections on your behalf (acting as a sort of middle man).
    Most people don't use PPPoE except to make certain types of VPN connections. However, some Internet service providers actually require it (you have to connect to the Internet by logging in through their proxy server).
    The error means that the PPPoE connection that you usually use isn't working for any number of reasons.
    "Could not find PPPoE" sounds like you've configured to connect to a device that has that name -- perhaps at school. Your parents probably have a device by a different name that requires a password of some sort (public places can often be connected to automatically without any interaction from you).
    Go to the airport menu and search for available networks. One should be your parents', choose that one from the list. If there's isn't listed, you need to select "Join other network..." from the menu. You will also need to specify what sort of encryption they use, and the passkey to log in. Once done, you should be good. I can't guess whether the ESSID you are reading is that of your parents, or of another access point.
    You might also want to go into the Network Preferences and make sure that you have your PPPoE network disabled. This is the virtual private network (VPN) that is confusing you and you likely don't need it.

  • FF not connecting to web- This "Network Connections" message pops up: Error 623: The system could not find the phone book entry for this connection. Any ideas?

    About a month ago I could no longer connect to the internet on our PC. Every time I clicked on the Firefox icon the Netscape sign-on window would pop up. I would try to close it but it would pop up over and over again. If I tried to close it a dozen or so times eventually Firefox would open up but it would never connect. Just today I moved my Netscape file to the recycle bin. No longer does the Netscape sign-on window pop up but following Network Connection error message pops up: "Error 623: The system could not find the phone book entry for this connection".. This error window behaves the same way the Netscape sign-on window used to behave. Every time I click to close it it pops open again. After numerous clicks Firefox opens up but it never connects.

    Do you have this error message on a Mac computer or on a Windows computer?
    I've only seen this error mentioned on a Windows computer.

  • 'Could not find the requested node error' when guests join the meeting room

    I am working on a program where the owner would allow guests after they knock to enter the meeting room.  Upon acceptance, they would also be permitted to publish/subscribe audio.
    My ' meeting owner' application code is an adaptation of the Knocking Queue example. The 'owner app' code has the following settings in its creation complete.
    // Require that guests must knock.Note that this line changes the setting of your room so that in future anyone guest coming in
    // has to knock.
    cSession.roomManager.guestsHaveToKnock = true;
    //Enable autopromote
    cSession.roomManager.autoPromote =
    true;
    I get an error when the owner logins in first and accepts the guest into the meeting room.
       // Event handler function for displaying the selected Alert button.
                private function alertClickHandler(event:CloseEvent):void {
                 var queue:Array = pendingArray;
                 if ( cSession.userManager.myUserRole == UserRoles.OWNER ) {
          var item:Object = pendingArray.shift();
          trace (item["label"]);
          trace (item["descriptor"].userID);

          else //if (event.detail==Alert.CANCEL)
           cSession.roomManager.knockingQueue.denyUser(item["descriptor"].userID);

  • Could not find the main class Error

    Hi all,
    I think that JRun compiles something to jsp files if the jsp
    folder does not contain jsp files. Is that right? I started a
    server running in JRUN4. And later at some point (I don't know what
    I was doing), I got this Error Dialog that said "Could not find the
    main class. Program will exit." In addition, the title of that
    dialog was "Java Virtual Machine Launcher". What does this message
    mean? Please help me. Thank you.

    Okay, I created a simple hello jsp file in the test folder.
    Then I ran the command:
    D:\JRun4\bin\jspc at the current directory of C:\Documents
    and Settings\user\Desktop\test>
    The result that I got this:

  • Could not find the main class error with executable jar

    Hello,
    I have troubles creating an executable jar file and I ran out of ideas how to solve it so I would appreciate some help.
    I have created a jar file with the export function in eclipse
    the Manifest.MF file contains:
    Manifest-Version: 1.0
    Main-Class: view.AppTennisViewI tried starting the file with a batch file which contains following code:
    @echo off
    javaw -classpath c:\TennisHSQLDB_GC2\tennisApp.jar
    @start javaw -jar tennisApp.jar
    exitthe batch file and the jar are both located in c:\TennisHSQLDB_GC2.
    When i try command line I get the same result.
    I also tried alternate statements such as SET CLASSPATH iso javaw -classpath and including the classpath in the manifest file but no luck. It keeps given me the error: could not find the main class. program will exit
    Anyone any suggestions for my problem?

    nevermind, found it.
    classpath in manifest was incorrect

    Hi,
    most probably that means you are trying to use command (in some command group or so) which does not exist or is wrongly registered with different alias. It should be logged in the error message what is the alias it can not find.

  • ORA-12516, TNS:listener could not find available handler Weblogic error

    Hello,
    I have a wierd issue while setting up a datasource in weblogic.
    The database am trying to connect to is an Oracle DB and am using a LDAP based URL as the datasource URL in weblogic.
    Service name : PSG03900_PEWTER_APPL.WORLD
    The LDAP url given was jdbc:oracle:thin:@ldap://oid_ldap_server_ln.csfp.co.uk:1522/PSG03900_PEWTER_APPL.WORLD,cn=OracleContext,dc=uk,dc=csfb,dc=com
    driver oracle.jdbc.xa.client.OracleXADataSource
    When am trying to setup the datasource and test the connection configuration the test is successful. However when I try to activate the changes I get the following error:
    An error occurred during activation of changes, please see the log for details.
    weblogic.application.ModuleException:
    Listener refused the connection with the following error: ORA-12516, TNS:listener could not find available handler with matching protocol stack The Connection descriptor used by the client was: (DESCRIPTION = (SDU = 8192) (TDU = 8192) (ADDRESS_LIST = (ADDRESS = (PROTOCOL = TCP)(HOST = PSGLOD2008-SCAN.AP.HEDANI.NET)(PORT = 1522)) (LOAD_BALANCE = ON) (FAILOVER = ON ) ) (CONNECT_DATA = (SERVICE_NAME = PSG03900_PEWTER_APPL.WORLD) (FAILOVER_MODE = (TYPE = SESSION) (METHOD = BASIC) (RETRIES = 20) (DELAY = 5))))
    The DBAs have confirmed to me that the database setup on their side is correct as they are able to do a tnsping and sqlplus connectivity succeeds.
    I have also tried accessing the database through PL/SQL developer and am able to login however the weblogic activation fails for some wierd reason.
    Could I request someone to enlighten me what I am missing here? I have been at it for days now.
    Many thanks.

    Hi Kishore,
    Thank you for the response.
    The number of processes has been set to 500 and number of sessions set to 792 and currently the utilization has just reached 15% of the limit set.
    We are using Weblogic 9.2 and trying to connect to Oracle 11g database, could the Oracle thin client being used in Weblogic have any issues connecting?
    Many thanks.
