These directions have been put in place to help those that purchase a new macintosh computer with Mac OS X 10.5 pre-installed configure ethernet access.
Connect Via Ethernet CABLE
| Step 1: Open System Preferences, either from the Dock or the Apple menu. |
|
|
|
Step 2: When the System Preferences window appears, click on the Network icon. |
 Result:
The Network configuration window appears. From this window, you
configure TCP/IP, AppleTalk, PPP (dialup) and even PPPoE (DSL
with an outside provider). |
|
Step 3: From the Location drop down menu (at the top of the window), click and create a new location (give it a name that makes sense to you). OS X will decide how you are trying to connect, but in this case we want to tell it how to connect, so from the left-hand pane, choose Ethernet. |
 |
| Step 4: Click on the Apply button in the lower right corner. To close the window, click on the red button. |
