Broadband
Mac OS X also makes it easy to connect to high-speed broadband networks through
Ethernet. Ethernet is used for accessing the Internet via local area networks (LANs),
Digital Subscriber Line (DSL) modems, and cable modems. Many Internet service pro-
viders support the Dynamic Host Configuration Protocol (DHCP), so getting connected
is as simple as plugging in an Ethernet cable. If your ISP requires specific settings, you
can easily enter them in the Network pane of System Preferences. Mac OS X can save
any number of locations, so you can connect from different locations without having
to configure your computer each time. When you make a change to your network
settings—either manually or automatically—it takes effect right away.

Dial-up
When you’re traveling, often the only way to get on the Internet is through a tele-
phone line. With Mac OS X, it’s easy to connect using a modem and the Internet
Connect application. Just enter the local phone number of the ISP, enter your user
name and password, and click Connect. You can save the settings for any number of
ISPs or locations, and connect again later just by selecting the name from your list.

Creating a Wi-Fi network
It’s easy to create your own wireless “hot
spot.” All you need is an Internet connection
(dial-up, Ethernet, DSL, or cable modem) and
an AirPort Express or AirPort Extreme Base
Station.

You can even configure your AirPort-
enabled Mac to act as a wireless base station,
allowing other computers to access the
Internet through its Internet connection.
