[QUOTE="Stretch, post: 373749, member: 25432"] If you open system prefs, and click network you get a list of network connection types. Airport, Ethernet, Bluetooth, Firewire, etc. The order they are in, from top to bottom, is the order they will connect to the internet. So if airport is at the top of the list, then airport will connect to the internet first, and the computer will use the airport network. If ethernet is at the top, it will use the ethernet connection, and so on. [/QUOTE]
