Network Menu Extra: Menulet

From: Todd Perumal
Date: August 2002

On page 87 of Mac OS X: The Missing Manual, in the box called "Up to Speed: Menulets: The Missing Manual," there is a row of Menu Extras. One of these is the "Network Settings." I can't seem to locate the setting to turn this menu extra on. How do i do that?

Todd


In System Preferences, open the Network controls. On the PPPoE tab, you'll find a checkbox called, "Show PPPoE status in menu bar." That's the option that makes the menulet appear.

It would have helped, I now realize, if I had mentioned that this menulet is useful only to people with a DSL connection that uses the "PPP over Internet" technology. . . .
