Connecting through an Ethernet card

To create an Ethernet connection to a network:

1.You do not need to create a new connection on your device. Instead, you must purchase and configure an Ethernet card that is compatible with your device.

2.Obtain the following information from your network administrator: user name, password, and domain name.

3.Insert the Ethernet card into your device. For instructions on inserting and using the Ethernet card, see the owner’s manual for the card.

4.The first time you insert the card, Network Settings will appear automatically so that you can configure the Ethernet card. Most networks use DHCP, so you should not have to change these settings unless your network administrator instructs you to do so. Tap OK.

If it does not appear, or to change the settings later, tap , then tap Settings. In the Connections tab, tap Network, tap the adapter that you want to change, then tap Properties.

5.Connect the Ethernet card to the network using a network cable. For information, see your owner’s manual.
