Connecting to an Ethernet network
This section contains information for people whose computers are connected
to other computers through a local area network. (Using a modem is not the
same as being connected to a local area network. If you have an internal
modem, you do not need an Ethernet card.)
If you buy and install an Ethernet card, you can connect your Macintosh to
an existing high-speed Ethernet network that uses thin coaxial cables,
10BASE-T twisted pair cables, thick coaxial cables, or other standard cables.
Depending on the type of cables used in the Ethernet network you’re
connecting to, you may need to purchase an Apple Ethernet media adapter
or other compatible media adapter to connect your Macintosh. (Consult
the service and support information that came with your computer for
instructions on how to contact an Apple-authorized service provider or
Apple for more information on Apple Ethernet media adapters.)
