Mac OSX 10.5 problem connecting to Arduino diecimi

i have installed a diecimila to a mac with os 10.5. all seemed to go well, but now in the Network window of the System Preferences, i see FT23...UART, which i take to be the diecimila. it tries to connect, but always fails with the error:

Internet Connect
Could not netogiate a connection with the remote PPP server. Please verify your settings and try again.

i have looked at the installation manual, but have not seen anything like this problem. i saw a post which suggested changing the usb driver group to be wheel, which i did, but that did not help.

You don't want to connect using the Network window. If you run the Arduino software, do you see the /dev/tty.usb device in the Tools > Serial Port menu? Select that and try uploading a sketch.

excellent. this did the trick immediately (especially once i remembered to switch Tools settings to recognise the tty usb port instead of the com1 which the mac version of arduino processing seems to default to!

many thanks,
