Q: Setting up a PPPoE connection from OSX

Hi,

 

I've been trying to set up a PPPoE connection to my modem from a time capsule (a precursor for setting up a VPN) by using the following:

 

Connecting to the Internet with PPPoE in Mac OS X v10.6 and later - Apple Support

 

and a can't even get a directly connected computer (Mac mini running 10.10.5) to connect.  Is there anything I should be looking at that might give me a better idea of what is going on?  The single dialogue box is not helping.

 

The ISP I'm with is iinet in Australia (their own Boblite modem, recently factory reset, in half-bridge mode, and DSLAMs should allow up to four internet addresses).

 

Any help gratefully received,

 

Sam

Mac mini, OS X Yosemite (10.10.4)
