Networking in OS X Lion
You can use OS X Lion to connect to the Internet, shared computers and other resources on a network. order to connect to the Internet or to a network, it needs a connection method. Examples include:
1. Connecting from home A high-speed connection at home to your Internet Service Provider (ISP), usually via a broadband ca

modem or DSL. 2. Connecting around town Use a wireless Internet hotspot (Wi-Fi). 3. Connecting at work Connect to the Internet via your office network.
A high-speed connection at home to your Internet Service Provider (ISP), usually via a broadband ca
4. Connecting via Personal Hotspot or your wireless carrier If none of the above apply, you may be able to use your iPhone, iPad, or a Personal Hotspot.
These connections will typically require include a user name or user account, a password and other sett depending on your ISP or network. If you dont know what settings you need to use, ask your ISP or net administrator.
AirDrop
Another method to share files is AirDrop. This feature in OS X Lion allows you to send files to anyone ar you wirelessly (Wi-Fi network required). 1. Click the AirDrop icon in the Finder sidebar. 2. Your Mac automatically discovers other AirDrop users within about 30 feet of you. 3. To share a file, simply drag it to someones name.
4. Once the other person accepts, the fully encrypted file transfers directly to that persons Download folder. When youre done with AirDrop, close the Finder window you used to transfer files, and your Mac is no visible to others.
To send a file, the receiving user must have AirDrop turned on (by clicking the AirDrop icon in the Finde sidebar).

Group of settings for a specific network port or interface (such as Wi-Fi, Ethernet, FireWire or Bluet Each service can have different locations. (Green) = Active and connected (Yellow) = Active but not connected (Red) = Not configured
2. Network Location
Create, edit and save settings for network services and save them as a location. Each network servi have multiple saved settings. If you often change network settings, switching between locations is and easier than repeatedly modifying individual groups of settings.
For example, you have a portable computer. You might want to make a location for home, where connect to the Internet with a DSL modem, and a location for office, where you connect to your co network and the Internet using Ethernet or AirPort.

If you want to connect your Mac to a network using a cablefor example, if youre connecting to a hom office network, a cable modem, or a digital subscriber line (DSL) modemfollow the steps below to get connected.
To set up your network connection, you might need the following information: What is my user or account name and password? Does my Mac receive its IP address manually or automatically? If automatic, is it assigned using DHCP or BootP? If manual, what is the IP address, subnet mask address, and router address? For some networks and ISP: What is the DHCP service name, and what is the DNS name? Your network administrator or Internet service provider (ISP) can give you this information.
Definitions
DHCP and BootP: Both are protocols (rules or languages) that govern how devices on a network commu with each other. Dynamic Host Configuration Protocol (DHCP) and BootP (Bootstrap Protocol) enable a s automatically assign an IP address to a computer.
IP address: Internet Protocol address. Numerical label assigned to each device (e.g., computer, printer) participating in a computer network.
Depending on the type of equipment you have, connect the other end of the Ethernet cable to your hom office networks Ethernet device (such as a hub or router), or to the cable or DSL modem provided by yo Internet service provider (ISP).

If the equipment isnt already turned on, start up your computer, and turn on the hub, router, or modem let it start up completely.
Can't connect?
1. Double check the physical cable connections between the Mac and the hub, router or modem. 2. Verify that your router is working properly.
3. If your Mac is issued an IP address of 169.254.xxx.xxx, contact your ISP or administrator of the DH server. Request a proper IP address to access the Internet.

If you want to connect your Mac to a network using a wireless connection, follow the steps below to get connected.
Note: If Wi-Fi isnt in the list of network services, click Add (+) at the bottom of the list, choose Wifrom the Interface pop-up menu, give the service a name, and then click Create.
3. Choose a wireless network from the Network Name pop-up menu. Enter the password for the netw necessary.
Note: If the network you expected is not listed, verify that the AirPort base station or wireless route configured correctly. Next, find out if you are trying to connect to a closed network (a network wh name is hidden). Try clicking Join Other Network, and then enter the network name and password i necessary. Tip: Show Wi-Fi status in menu bar to display the Wi-Fi status icon:
You can use the Wi-Fi icon in the menu bar to choose your network from the list and connect to it.

By default, your Wi-Fi connection attempts to join the wireless network your computer was most recent connected to.
Mac OS X keeps track of the wireless networks your computer has connected to. The list can be found i Network preferences.
Learning Activity
When you're not at home, work or nearby a Wi-Fi hotspot, consider using a Personal Hotspot device or cellular phone. A Personal Hotspot lets you connect your computers and devices to the Internet using a Cellular Data connection. How do you connect your Mac to a Personal Hotspot?

Connecting to Servers
You can use your Mac to connect to file servers, as well as other Mac and Windows computers (that hav sharing enabled) on your network. In addition, you can connect to file servers that use these protocols: AFP (Apple File Protocol) Example address: afp://ComputerName.CompanyName.com SMB/CIF (Server Message Block and Common Internet File System) Example address: smb://DNSname/sharename or smb://IPaddress/sharename NFS (Network File System) Example address: nfs://DNSname/pathname FTP (File Transfer Protocol) Example address: ftp://DNSname
Because domain names are alphabetic, they're easy to remember. However, the Internet is really based numerical IP addresses. Every time a domain name is used, a domain name system translates the name corresponding IP address.

1. In the Finder, choose Go > Connect to Server.
2. Click Browse.
Note: If you are connecting to a server/computer outside of your network (or if you know its DNS n IP address), enter it into the Server Address field. Continue onto Step 5. 3. Search for the server/computer.
4. When your computer connects to a remote computer in the Network browser, OS X Lion automatica connects your Mac as a guest user, if possible. It will display any publicly available folders (volumes that server/computer.
5. To log in to the shared computer as a registered user, click Connect As, and enter your user name password:

Tip: To make it easier to connect to the computer in the future, select Remember this password in keychain to add your user name and password for the computer to your keychain. 6. Once connected, the available volumes on the server change to reflect your new level of access.
If you cant locate a shared computer or server or connect to it, it may not be available or you may not h permission to connect to it. Contact the person who owns the computer or the network administrator fo
Connecting to Printers
You can connect to printers on your local network that use Bonjour, IP, and Open Directory.
Definitions
Bonjour: Also known as zero-configuration networking. Enables automatic discovery of computers, dev and services on IP networks using industry standard IP protocols.
Open Directory: A directory service is that stores and organizes information about a computer network users and network resources.
2. Open the Printer pop-up menu and choose your printer. It may be in the Nearby Printers submenu.

4. If you dont see your printer in the list, do one of the following: IP Printer: Click IP in the toolbar and enter the printers IP address (a number that looks like
192.168.20.11) or DNS name (for example, printer.example.com). Note: Printers that support the In Printing Protocol (IPP), Line Printer Daemon (LPD), and HP Jetdirect (Socket) can be added in this ma SMB/CIFS Printer: 1. Select the printer from the browser. If prompted, enter the user name and password for the printer.
2. Choose the item appropriate for your printer from the Print Using pop-up menu. Be sure to choose the correct printer model for the printer youre using. For more information,
