You can use Ethernet to share files between two computers or set up a small network. The Ethernet (G) port on your MacBook Pro automatically detects a connected Ethernet device. You don't need an Ethernet crossover cable when connecting to other Ethernet devices. Use a 2-pair category 5 (or higher) Ethernet cable to connect to a 10 Base-T, 100 Base-T, or 1000 Base-T network. Getting More Information About Using Ethernet More information, including setting up an Ethernet network and transferring files using Ethernet, is available in Mac Help. Choose Help > Mac Help and search for "Ethernet" or "network." For information about networking products you can use with your MacBook Pro, check the Macintosh Products Guide at www.apple.com/guide.
