[QUOTE="hughvane, post: 1041234, member: 56231"] Look in System Preferences. Your other posts suggest to me that the Mini is 2006 or later, as it will operate OS 10.6 (with which I'm not familiar - I'm referring to OS 10.4/Tiger). SysPrefs > Network > Network Status. Hopefully you'll find reference there to Show > Modem > TCP/IP and Modem. See if you can configure your present USB modem from there. Mactracker tells me that your model of Mini can use an external optional Apple USB Modem (MA034Z/A). I'm not sure the USB modem you've got working with Win will cooperate with the MacOS, which is why you don't see an 'operating' light. Come back to us later about firewire and bluetooth. [/QUOTE]
