Setting Up and Using Networks
Setting up a computer network provides connectivity between your
Tablet
-
PC and the Internet, another computer, or a network. For example,
with a network set up in a home or small office you can print to a shared
printer, access drives and files on another computer, browse other networks, or
access the Internet. You can set up a local area network (LAN) using a
network or broadband modem cable or set up a wireless LAN (WLAN).
Microsoft Windows provides a wizard to help guide you through the process
of networking computers. For more information about networking, see
"Windows Help and Support" on page 19.
Connecting a Network or Broadband Modem
Before you connect your Tablet-PC to a network, the Tablet-PC must have a
network adapter installed and a network cable connected to it.
1 Connect the network cable to the network adapter connector on the back
of your Tablet-PC.
NOTE:
Insert the cable connector until it clicks into place, and then gently
pull the cable to ensure that it is securely attached.
2
Connect the other end of the network cable to a network connection
device or a network wall connector.
NOTE:
Do not use a network cable with a telephone wall connector.
