Auto-connect to DSL

Is there anyway to connect to my DSL service without having to manually click "Connect" in the pull-down menu? (The <-> icon on the menu bar). I'd like my iBook to auto-connect (the way it does with Airport) when I turn it on. (Yes, I DO NEED to use the wired DSL in this location.)

I await your advice.

iBook G4, 1.42 GHz Mac OS X (10.4.4) 1 GB RAM

Open System Preferences>Network and click on Show>Ethernet. Click on TCP/IP and then the Options button. Check mark the "Connect automatically when needed. Now it should connect when you launch a browser or email.

Thanks John. Sorry for the late response. (I found the answer somewhere else, and did not check back here).
Thanks for your help.
