Connectivity options

Your computer has built-in connectivity options, enabling you to hook up to a network or communicate over a phone line.

Ethernet and LAN

The integrated network feature allows you to connect your computer to an Ethernet- based (10/100Mbps) network.

To use the network feature, plug an Ethernet cable into your computer's network jack, and then connect the other end to a network jack or hub on your network.

See Windows Help for information on setting up a network connection.

Fax/data modem

Your computer features a built-in fax/data modem, enabling you to communicate over a phone line. This means that you can connect to the Internet via a dialup account with an ISP, log in to your network from a remote location, or send faxes.

Warning: your modem is not compatible with digital phone lines. Plugging the computer into a digital phone system will damage the modem.
