Macintosh G5 (10.4.4) & UTD Connection

[DougS]

I have searched this great site for any information on connecting a Macintosh G5 running MacOs 10.4 & the iBurst UTD, without success. I would sincerely appreciate any assistance in this regard. My 3gb account with Tradepages is active however no one can offer me any definitive assistance with a Macintosh connection.

Last week I gave up my Telkom ADSL after my link was down for 14 days and they didnt send a technician to repair the line...

Many Thanks

What's the problem?

I'm using a iBurst UTD via Airport Express on my iMac G4 and PowerBook G4, both running 10.4.4 at home, and another UTD via a Linux router at the office.

I have also used the UTD directly on the PowerBook, both using PPPoE (Ethernet) and USB (using the driver available from WBS). I have also used a UTC in the PowerBook with great success.

It should just work. What exactly is the problem in your case?

I would be grateful if you could walk me through the settings using Ethernet on the Mac. I am not connecting through a Hub, rather directly from the UTD to the Mac G5. Thanks

OK, first off, obviously you don't install any iBurst drivers in this case.

Are you running Tiger? Open the Network Preference pane in System Preferences and click on "Assist me", at the bottom. Then select "Assistant" and follow the steps to set up a PPPoE connection.

If that doesn't do it for you, let me know and we'll try a more manual approach.
