I just got it today, I'm having trouble connecting to the internet.

Network settings says i'm connected, but my ISP cannot connect automatically. I have a cable modem btw .. no wireless internet. I clicked continue and then it says enter you client ID for DHCP. I'm guessing I don't have PPPoE because I dont remember ever given an account name for my internet.

If everything is correct, where do i find the client ID number?

You're plugging your macbook into a internet cord, correct?

my advice, simply invest in a wireless router. whats the point of a laptop without one?


Okay, but till then? There has to be some way to have internet while having an ethernet cord.

I bought it for college mostly which has wifi btw. i don't need wireless at home
