Your computer communicates with a network through a network port. Most Macs have several network ports: Ethernet for connecting to a local area network or a cable or DSL modem; AirPort for connecting to a wireless network; and a modem for connecting to the Internet using a telephone line. You configure settings for each of these connections in the Network pane of System Preferences.
By default, Mac OS X looks for an active network connection and selects the correct one for you. This means that your computer finds the best way to connect to your local network and the Internet without your having to set and reset complex network options.
