Using Terminal commands

Open up your terminal and type the following command to set your PPPoE connection.

Now enter your DSL account and password provided by your ISP and save your settings in the following command.

set pppoe.username YOUR_DSL_ACCOUNT_USERNAME
set pppoe.password YOUR_DSL_ACCOUNT_PASSWORD
