C Connecting to the Internet
You can use your computer to browse the World
Wide Web, send email to friends and family, and
chat in real time over the Internet. Use this
information to help you connect to the Internet.
When you first start up Mac OS X, Setup Assistant helps you enter your Internet
configuration information. If you didn’t use Setup Assistant to configure your Internet
connection, you can use Network Setup Assistant later (see “Using Network Setup
Assistant to Connect” on page 119). If you don’t want to use Network Setup Assistant,
you can use the information in this appendix to set up your connection manually.
There are four kinds of Internet connections:
 High-speed DSL or cable modem connection: Your computer is plugged into a
special modem you get from an ISP using an Ethernet cable.
 AirPort Extreme wireless connection: Your computer is connected wirelessly to the
Internet using an AirPort Extreme Base Station or AirPort Express.
 Local area network (LAN): Your computer is plugged into a LAN using an Ethernet
cable. This type of connection is usually used in the workplace.
