Apple iMac G5 Benutzerhandbuch

 

You can use your computer to browse the World Wide 
Web, send email to friends and family, and chat in real 
time over the Internet. Use this detailed guide to connect 
to the Internet.

When you first start up Mac OS X, the Setup Assistant helps you enter your Internet 
configuration information and sign up for an Internet service provider (ISP) if you don’t 
already have one.

If you didn’t use the Setup Assistant to configure your Internet connection, you can use 
it now. Open System Preferences and click Network. Click the “Assist me” button to 
open Network Setup Assistant. If you don’t want to use Network Setup Assistant, you 
can use the information in this appendix to set up your connection manually.

Dial-up connection:  Your computer is plugged into a telephone wall jack using a 
telephone cable (with computers that include a modem).

High-speed DSL or cable modem connection:  Your computer is plugged into a 
special modem you get from an ISP using an Ethernet cable.

AirPort Extreme wireless connection:  Your computer is connected wirelessly to the 
Internet using an AirPort Extreme Base Station.

Local area network (LAN):  Your computer is plugged into a LAN using an Ethernet 
cable. This type of connection is usually used in the workplace.

Set up an account with an ISP. If you do not have an ISP account, the Setup Assistant 
can help you get one. If you don’t want to use the ISP suggested by the Setup 
Assistant, you can find an ISP in your phone directory. Look under “Internet access,” 
“Internet service,” or “online.”

Note:  If you want to use America Online as your ISP, skip the Internet setup part of the 
Setup Assistant. You need the AOL installer application. Open the AOL Installer 
application and follow the onscreen instructions to set up AOL.
