Hello. Thanks a lot for the help. Both wireless and ethernet show
up as connected; I see nothing about connecting automatically. Am I
missing something, or should I turn Wi-Fi off? Thanks in advance.

When you plug in an ethernet cable, the mac does automatically
switch to using ethernet (assuming it's not been changed from the
defaults to do so)
It's easy enough to find out though, just open system preferences,
select network, then look at the various connection types listed in
the services table. It shows your ethernet, airport, firewire (if
you have one) and other connection types your machine may have. By
putting the vo cursor on each one (ethernet, airport, bluetooth, and
so on) you can then move to the right of the table, and it will tell
you connection status (connected, not connected, on/off, and so
on). It will also give you the current ip address of that
connection (if any) as well as some other information that may or
may not be useful depending on what you're currently after.
Hope this helps.

> Hi, Folks. I recently tried to switch my Mavcbook Pro from
wireless to hard-wired ehternet connection. I thought that if you
plugged in an ethernet cable from a working network that the
MacBook would automatically switch to the ethernet
connection. However, when I went into the Menu Extras section, I
had no indication I was on the network via the cable. How do I
determine this, or how do I make the switch? Thanks in advance.
