Connecting Through a Wireless LAN (Option)

A wireless network (Wireless LAN) environment is a network environment that enables communication between multiple computers at home or a small-size office through wireless LAN devices.

Using the wireless network connections between the systems, you can use normal network functions such as sharing of files, folders and printers. When a computer-to- computer network has been constructed, a computer that is not connected to the Internet can share the Internet by accessing another computer connected to the Internet. For details, see “Using Network Services” on page 61.

The description in this section concerns the Intel(R) PRO/Wireless LAN 2100 3B Mini PCI Adapter (hereafter referred to as a 11b card), the Intel(R) PRO/ Wireless LAN 2200BG Network Connection (hereafter referred to as a 11g card) and the Intel(R) PRO/Wireless 2915ABG Network Connection device (hereafter referred to as a 11a/g card).

A wireless LAN interface is an optional device that you can select when you purchase this product. You can connect to the Internet over a wireless connection when your computer has a wireless LAN (WLAN) device.

To view the installed wireless LAN card, click Start > Control Panel > System > Hardware tab > Device Manager.

The images actually displayed may differ from the figures shown in this section according to the installed device and the connection state.

To turn off the Wireless LAN

If the wireless LAN is turned on, the computer consumes more power, therefore shortening the amount of time you can run on battery. If you are not using the WLAN or if you are in an environment that does not provide WLAN, you are recommended to turn off the WLAN by pushing the WLAN button (p15) on the computer.

Wireless network connections can be classified into two categories.

1) Access Point (AP)

You can connect to an AP to use the network. This is possible only in an environment equipped with an AP. For details, see “Connecting to an Access Point (AP)” on page 45.
