Learning the Basics
Setting up for communications
TECHNICAL NOTE: When restoring files, the backup
program prompts you if you try to overwrite a file that
already exists on the hard disk. Make sure the backup
version is the one you want before overwriting the existing
file.
Setting up for communications
To connect to the Internet, use an online service, or communicate
across the telephone lines with another computer, you need:
❖
A modem (supplied with your computer)
❖
A telephone line
❖
A browser or communications program
❖
An Internet Service Provider (ISP) or an online service if you
plan to use the Internet
Before you can use the modem, you must connect it to a standard
voice-grade telephone line. See
“Connecting the modem” on
page 47 for details.
Connecting your computer to a network
To access a network:
❖
At the office, connect the computer to the LAN Port
Replicator (which has a built-in Ethernet card) or install a
network card in one of the PC Card slots. For specific
information about connecting to the LAN or WAN, consult
your network administrator.
❖
While you are at home or traveling, you need a dial-up
connection. Ask your network administrator for the telephone
number of the network.
