Selecting a network connection

Once you have installed EtherTalk networking software on your PowerBook,
you must select the appropriate connection type in the Network control panel
before you can use it.

You can switch to a different network connection type at any time. For
example, if you have access to both a LocalTalk and an Ethernet network
(using EtherTalk), you can switch between the two connection types.

1

Insert the PowerBook Duo into the dock and turn on the PowerBook.

2

Choose Control Panels from the Apple (

K

) menu.

3

Double-click the Network icon to open the Network control panel.

When the Network control panel opens, EtherTalk and any other installed
network connection software is displayed.

4

Click the EtherTalk network connection.

A dialog box warns you that you may lose any network services that you are
using with your current network connection. This means that you may need
to reconnect to the network services later.

5

Click OK.

6

Close the Network control panel.

You can now use the network connection you selected.
