64 Chapter 3 Using Your MacBook
Connecting with Ethernet
Your computer comes with built-in Gigabit Ethernet (G) networking capability, which
you can use to connect to a network or to a DSL or cable modem.
Connecting to a network gives you access to other computers and potentially to
network printers, modems, email, and the Internet. You can use Ethernet to share files
between two computers or set up a small network. The Ethernet port on your MacBook
automatically detects other Ethernet devices. You don’t need an Ethernet crossover
cable when connecting to other Ethernet devices.
