Connecting to a 10Base-T Ethernet Network
The built-in Ethernet capabilities of your Macintosh PowerBook allow you to connect to a
standard (10 Mbit) Ethernet network. If a network administrator is responsible for network
maintenance and upkeep at your location, ask for help connecting your computer to the
network.
To connect your Macintosh PowerBook to an Ethernet network, use the Ethernet cable that
came with your computer. (The connector on the cable looks like a standard telephone
connector, but it is wider.)
To connect your PowerBook to an Ethernet network:
1
Open the cover on the computer’s back panel to access your Ethernet connector (labeled
with a G icon).
2
Locate a modular Ethernet cable and connect one end of the cable to the network.
3
Connect the free end of the Ethernet cable to the Ethernet port.
4
Set up your PowerBook software to use Ethernet communication.
Configuring Your Network Connection
After you physically connect your computer to a network, you need to configure the software
for your network connection using AppleTalk and/or TCP/IP. You can find more information
in the online help, available in the Help menu.
