Connecting to a Network

If you want to connect your iMac to an Ethernet network, a cable modem, a DSL

modem, or a wireless network, see “Connecting to an Ethernet Network” on page 54

and “Understanding AirPort Extreme Wireless Networking” on page 51 for information

about setting up an Ethernet or AirPort connection. You can also open Mac Help and

search for “Ethernet” or “AirPort.”

Using the Internet

When you first set up your iMac, Setup Assistant helped you connect to the Internet.

If you need to change to a different type of connection, such as a DSL or cable modem,

Ethernet local area network (LAN), or an AirPort Extreme or other wireless network, you

can find more information in Appendix C, “Connecting to the Internet,” on page 99.
