ÂLocal area network (LAN): Your computer is plugged in to a LAN using an Ethernet cable. This type of connection is usually used in the workplace.

Before you connect to the Internet:

1Set up an account with an ISP. If you do not have an ISP account, you can find an ISP in your phone directory. Look under “Internet access,”“Internet service,” or “online.”

Note: If you want to use America Online as your ISP, skip the Internet setup part of Setup Assistant. Instead, open the AOL Installer application and follow the onscreen instructions to set up AOL.

2Gather the connection information you need from your ISP or network administrator. See the next section, “Using the Setup Assistant Worksheet” on page 80 to find out what information to get for each type of connection.

In some cases, if another computer in the same location is already connected to the Internet, you may be able to use its settings.
