4. If you want to use this Mac in more than place (perhaps at home as well as at your
workplace) or on more than one network, you can achieve this easily by setting up
a Location for each place or network. Swapping Locations then becomes a simple
matter of selecting the appropriate Location. If you wish to do this, you will need to
click on the “Location” pop-up menu and select “New Location…”. You will be asked
to name your new location.
5. Give your New Location a meaningful name and click OK. Make sure that the
Location you have just created is displayed in the Location pop-up menu.
6. If you do not wish to set up more than one Location, make sure that the Location
pop-upmenu is set to “Automatic”.
