Using Your VAIO Computer
Using Wireless LAN (WLAN)
Using the Sony Wireless LAN (WLAN), all your digital devices with built-in WLAN functionality communicate freely with each
other through a network. A WLAN is a network in which a user can connect to a Local Area Network (LAN) through a wireless
(radio) connection. So there is no need anymore to pull cables or wires through walls and ceilings.
The Sony WLAN supports all normal Ethernet connectivity, but with the added benefits of mobility and roaming. You can still
access information, Internet/intranet and network resources, even in the middle of a meeting, or as you move from one place
to another.
You can communicate without an access point, which means that you can communicate with a limited number of computers
(ad-hoc). Or you can communicate through an access point, which allows you to create a full infrastructure network.
!
You cannot access wireless networks if you disable the wireless LAN functionality in the BIOS setup screen. To enable the functionality, follow the steps
and the tip in
