modem, Ethernet local area network (LAN), or AirPort Extreme network, you can find

more information in Appendix C, “Connecting to the Internet,” on page 77.

Connecting to a Network

a wireless network, see “Connecting With Ethernet (10/100Base-T)” on page 47 and

“Understanding AirPort Extreme Wireless Networking” on page 40 for more information

about setting up an Ethernet or AirPort connection. Also open Mac Help (see page 24)
