Connecting to a network gives you access to other computers. You may be able to store and retrieve information; use network printers, modems, and electronic mail; or connect to the Internet. You can also use Ethernet to share files between two computers or set up a small network. The Ethernet port on your eMac automatically detects other Ethernet devices. You don’t need an Ethernet crossover cable to connect to other Ethernet devices.

•Use 2-pair category 3 (Cat 3) Ethernet cables to connect to a 10Base-T Ethernet network.

•Use 2-pair category 5 (Cat 5) Ethernet cables to connect to a 10Base-T or a 100Base-T Ethernet network.
