Connecting to the Internet

You can use your Mac mini to browse the World
Wide Web, send email to friends and family, and
conference in real time over the Internet. Use the
information that follows to connect to the Internet.

When you first start up Mac OS X, Setup Assistant helps you enter your Internet

configuration information. If you don’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 85).

There are four ways to connect to the Internet:
 High-speed DSL or cable modem connection— Your computer is connected using

an Ethernet cable and a special modem you get from an ISP.

 AirPort Extreme wireless connection—Your computer is connected wirelessly to the

Internet using an AirPort Express or AirPort Extreme Base Station or another wireless

network.

 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.
