C Connecting<br />
to the Internet<br />
You can use your <strong>com</strong>puter to browse the World Wide<br />
Web, send email to friends and family, and chat in real<br />
time over the Internet. Use this detailed guide to connect<br />
to the Internet.<br />
When you first start up Mac OS X, Setup Assistant helps you enter your Internet<br />
configuration information.<br />
C Appendix<br />
If you didn’t use Setup Assistant to configure your Internet connection, you can use it<br />
now. Open System Preferences and click Network. Click the “Assist me” button and then<br />
click Assistant to open Network Setup Assistant. If you don’t want to use Network Setup<br />
Assistant, you can use the information in this appendix to set up your connection<br />
manually.<br />
There are four kinds of Internet connections:<br />
 Dial-up connection: Your <strong>com</strong>puter is plugged in to a phone wall jack using a<br />
phone cable (with <strong>com</strong>puters that include a modem).<br />
 High-speed DSL or cable modem connection: Your <strong>com</strong>puter is plugged in to a<br />
special modem you get from an ISP using an Ethernet cable.<br />
 AirPort Extreme wireless connection: Your <strong>com</strong>puter is connected wirelessly to the<br />
Internet using an AirPort Extreme or AirPort Express Base Station.<br />
 Local area network (LAN): Your <strong>com</strong>puter is plugged in to a LAN using an Ethernet<br />
cable. This type of connection is usually used in the workplace.<br />
Before you connect to the Internet:<br />
1 Set up an account with an Internet Service Provider (ISP).<br />
Use the information in this appendix to set up your connection.<br />
2 Gather the connection information you need from your ISP or network administrator.<br />
See the next section, “Gathering the Information You Need,” to find out what<br />
information to get for each type of connection.<br />
In some cases, if another <strong>com</strong>puter in the same location is already connected to the<br />
Internet, you may be able to use its settings.<br />
