How to Set Up the Internet for the PowerBook G4


Determine what kind of connection you will use to connect to the Internet. You must already have an account set up with an Internet provider. If you plan to use a wireless connection, rather than an Ethernet connection, make sure that your computer has an AirPort Card in it first. Without an AirPort Card inside it, you must use an Ethernet connection. (To determine if you have an AirPort Card, go to 'About This Mac' underneath the Apple menu in the top left corner of your screen and click 'More Info.' If you see 'AirPort' listed underneath 'Network,' then your computer has an AirPort Card installed.) If you're using an Ethernet cable, insert it into the PowerBook's Ethernet port, located on the left side.
Open 'System Preferences,' which is by default located on the Dock. It is also located in the Applications folder on the hard drive (which is titled 'Macintosh HD').
Click on 'Network.'
Click 'Assist me...' then 'Assistant.'
Give your connection a name, or just use the default name provided, and click 'Continue.'
Select the type of Internet connection you have (wireless, DSL or cable--it's DSL if your modem is connected to a telephone wire; it's cable if the modem is connected to a cable wire). Click 'Continue.'
Select the wireless connection that you want to connect to from the list, if you're connecting wirelessly, and enter your password, if required, then click 'Continue'; your computer will automatically connect to the wireless account, and you're done. If you are using an Ethernet cable to connect, click 'Continue' on the next page. Once you're back on the network page, select the network location you just created in the 'Location' tab, and click 'Apply.' If needed, a pop-up will ask for your username and password, and will finish the connection.
