5.Depending upon what type of connection you would like to make, make a selection. For an infra- structure network, select “Manually create a net- work profile. For ad hoc network, select “Create an ad hoc network”.

6.Enter the required information. It may be necessary to consult with your network administrator for some of the information.

7.In the event you require assistance, go to the Net- work and Sharing Center window (Start -> Control Panel -> Network and Sharing Center), and type in relevant keywords in the Search box.
