-- Posted by gotyooadicted at 7:25 pm on Aug. 10, 2008 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? -- Posted by 4irate at 7:26 pm on Aug. 10, 2008 all i can say is its my mac daddy. I use your basic idiot pc.. whispers" oh i'm just kidding baby, your slow, freeze a lot, but i still love you" -- Posted by HXC at 7:27 pm on Aug. 10, 2008 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? -- Posted by XOallixs0n at 7:28 pm on Aug. 10, 2008 i got the macbook with the wireless internet. so much easier that way. -- Posted by Dylan6405 at 7:28 pm on Aug. 10, 2008 mac ftw! -- Posted by gotyooadicted at 7:29 pm on Aug. 10, 2008 Quote: from HXC at 10:27 pm on Aug. 10, 2008 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.
