  • The iMac and iBook 8.0 – 9.0 operating systems have several different locations for the Internet Setup Assistant.
    • If it is not located in the “Apple” menu, try these:

      Apple
      control panels
      Internet Setup Assistant

      Hard Drive
      Assistants folder
      Internet Setup Assistant


 
  • Alternative Method for setting up your Internet Access Connection

    TCP/IP

    For PPP settings, go to:
    Apple
