Using Your MacBook

Connecting with Ethernet

Your computer comes with built-in Gigabit Ethernet (G) networking capability, which

you can use to connect to a network or to a DSL or cable modem.

Connecting to a network gives you access to other computers and potentially to

network printers, modems, email, and the Internet. You can use Ethernet to share files

between two computers or set up a small network. The Ethernet port on your MacBook

automatically detects other Ethernet devices. You don’t need an Ethernet crossover

cable when connecting to other Ethernet devices.
