Connecting to a Local Area Network (LAN)
Users can connect to local area networks (LANs). LANs give users access to
network resources, such as printers and file servers on the corporate network,
and possibly to the Internet.
To connect to a LAN:
1. Check that the existing LAN supports Ethernet 10Base-T (10Mbps) or 100
Base-TX (100Mbps) connections.
2. Plug the LAN cable (not supplied) into the built-in Network Jack (LAN Port).
The cable must have an RJ-45 connector.
3. Windows automatically detects and sets up a LAN connection. To edit
settings, open Network and Dial-up Connections in Control Panel.
See Windows Help for information about setting up and using LAN
connections. Contact the network administrator for network information.
