Hi Im just wondering how i can get the option to put up a DHCP network on my built-in ethernet... only have ppp but airport has the DHCP?!?! wat can I do?
First, we need more information: What are you trying to accomplish? Basic Home Networking or just connecting to your airport via wireless so you can surf? Or is it something else?

Sorry forgot that.
Just connecting to my wireless router so i can surf.
In either case, use the Airport Setup Utility in Applications:Utilities:AirPort Setup Assistant
If you've done that in the networking Pane in System Prefereces, make sure Airpot, not Ethernet is selected.
HTH...
Its DSL.
But the user manual says that it have to be connected to a computer (Not wireless) and it shows how to do it on a Mac, but on mine mac i don´t have DHCP options on built-in ethernet like it is in the manual...
My mac has wireless connection whit the router now but no internet :-(
This sounds like a modem port and not an ethernet port.
Under your network prefs there is a Show - Drop down menu that should have modem and built in ethernet.
Change it from modem to built in ethernet.
You should see the DHCP selection now as well.
If ethernet doesn't show up then click on Network Port configurations under the show menu and enable the ethernet adapter. If you don't use the modem then disable this.

Dial-Up or Cable/DSL?

Under this should be 4 tabs with TCP/IP, PPP, Appletalk and Proxies.
Under the TCP/IP tab you should have a 'Configure' drop down menu box with 4 options (Manually, DHCP, DHCP + Manual and Bootp).
Do you see these options?
If it is greyed out can you authenticate and see these?
