[iBook] Does my dual usb iBook have an ethernet card installed?

[Tony Gamble]

Also be sure to check that your ethernet port is turned on in  
"Network Port Configurations".  You can get there by clicking  
"Network" in your System Preferences, then click the "Show" drop-down  
list, then click "Network Port Configurations".  This should provide  
you with a list of available port configurations, like "Internal  
Modem" and "Built-In Ehternet".  The latter must be check-marked in  
the accompanying box.
