Where is the show popup from network on System Preferences?


Was checking Airport support for PPPoE disconnected message which directd me to Show Popup on network in System preferences and I had 1 option. Show all.


Would love additional info on why I keep getting this message - Could not find a PPPoE server. Which interrupts wifi service to Network.

MacBook, Mac OS X (10.7)

PPPoE is a protocol used to authenticate a user prior to gaining Internet access used by certain ISPs. Typically it is used for DSL Internet service. PPPoE would be configured on the device that is directly connected to the DSL modem. This could be a router or computer.


Do you currently have or previously had DSL Internet service? What is the make & model of the device that you currently have the AirPort Extreme base station connected to by Ethernet? Which exact model of the Extreme do you have?
