| 555293 | 2007-06-02 04:37:00 | I hear that woosh isn't supporting intel macs at the moment. anyone got any clues on what I could use as an alternative to the Woosh driver, which is refusing to let me run it? (it was just a friend who told me that - but I have checked the woosh website and it seems to be the case) cheers everyone Brazzin |

| 555294 | 2007-06-02 04:39:00 | Setting up with Woosh shouldn't be a problem. You should just need to load the IP address. Check out their web page for support. I take it you mean that you can't get your Woosh BB modem to work with your Mac?:confused: | winmacguy (3367) | ||
| 555295 | 2007-06-02 04:51:00 | yeah thats the one. Not sure what the story is... the modem doesn't seem to respond to the mac and vice versa. which is a lack of a driver. The woosh install CD came out early last year, which of course wouldn't support intel macs... and i haven't found anything updated on the website. but maybe i'm not looking hard enough. |

| 555297 | 2007-06-02 05:07:00 | I take it their help desk is unable to help you in this instance. I was actually going to go with Woosh BB until I looked at their toll charges compared to Telecom and ended up going with Telecom who worked out cheaper. Didn't have any problems connecting the modem up to my Mac, just plugged it in and turned it on and loaded the IP address in Safari. 10.0.0.1 The whole process took about 5 mins including talking to the help desk. | winmacguy (3367) | ||
| 555298 | 2007-06-02 05:26:00 | Are you using their USB cable or Ethernet cable? If its ethernet, then does MacOS have some sort of PPPoE dialer? OS X has the standard ethernet set up, I actually added an Apple airport so that I could remove the ethernet cable and connect wirelessly to the BB router since the ethernet cable was getting in the way. |

| 555300 | 2007-06-02 07:36:00 | You just plug the Woosh Ethernet cable in to the ethernet port on the back of the iMac. You don't actually need to load any drivers for the iMac just the IP address in the browser. | winmacguy (3367) | ||
| 555301 | 2007-06-03 06:01:00 | Once you have an ethernet cable you can use it with a PPPoE connection. The user name must be in the form username@woosh.co.nz for this to work. I don't know about the specifics of using it on a Mac but used to use Woosh just over a year ago on a Linux box. I left them once my contract expired because their coverage was so bad. | TGoddard (7263) | ||

That pretty much describes the process. I did the same thing when I set up with Telecom. Mac and Linux set up would be pretty much similar. |
