Yes.. Search for the modem if wireless, or plug in Ethernet cable and access network settings!
Remember, windows is just bill gateses pc version of the Mac os!!!
As long as the Mac in question has a wireless adapter, it should connect.
MAC/PC/printer to router. Router to modem. Modem to wall/internet. Wired or wireless router is optional, same principle.
after switching from the modem to the router you need to recycle the power on the modem to reread the mac address of the new device
Yes, it can. Usually default settings include configured DHCP server, no security, no mac filtering, broadcast SSID is on. In another words, it's configured in a way it's very easy to establish connection with it.
# Connect a DSL modem to the DSL line # Connect an Ethernet wire from the modem to the Mac. # There is no step 3. Unless you want to stick a router in between and get a network going.
Connecting to the Internet is usually done through a modem/router. If these do not provide a wireless network then it will need to be wired usually by connecting an Ethernet cable between the router and the computer.
MAC address filtering uses the MAC address to identify which devices are allowed to connect to the wireless network. When a wireless client attempts to connect, or associate, with an AP it will send MAC address information. If MAC filtering is enabled, the wireless router or AP will look up its MAC address a preconfigured list. Only devices whose MAC addresses have been prerecorded in the router's database will be allowed to connect.
No you cant just because it doesn't work
The Mac does not have a particular Internet port. It can connect to the Internet with either the built-in wireless connection to a wireless router, an Ethernet cable connected to a router or a modem connected to a USB socket. Standard IP Ports are used to connect to many Internet services, such as HTTP web pages through port 80, and a range of other TCP ports are used by individual applications. (See links below)
In order to activate your service the cable company must know the MAC address of the cable modem you have installed.
If you can connect but are not able to receive an IP address then the problem is either that your using the wrong password or no password for wep/wpa encrypted connection. Or MAC filtering is enabled and router can only give addresses to PCs approved my the MAC table.
There are tons of reasons. Most common are secured wireless is enabled, MAC table is enabled, your wireless adapter is not compatible with your wireless router, wireless router does not work properly and so on.
