Connecting to a Network

If you want to connect your Mac mini to an Ethernet network, a cable modem, a DSL
modem, or a wireless network, see “Connecting to an Ethernet Network” on page 49
and “Understanding AirPort Extreme Wireless Networking” on page 45 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 Mac mini, Setup Assistant helped you connect to the
Internet. If you need to change to a different type of connection, such as a DSL
modem, 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 79.
