Open Network Preferences



Is PPPoE listed in your Network connections:

>System Preferences>Networks> PPPoE


uncheck the box. If you do not use PPPoE (Point-to-Point Protocol over Ethernet) you can remove it from the list using the +/- option




Connect your Mac to the internet using PPPoE - Apple Support



If PPPoE is not in your Network list, try simply holding the Command key and drag the symbol off the menu bar manually.
