Setting Up the

Network Interface Adapter

The network interface adapter (also called a network interface card, or NIC) provides a high-performance connection to an Ethernet (10BaseT) or Fast Ethernet (100BaseT) network. After this adapter is connected to a LAN (local area network), you will be able to get a high- speed connection to the Internet through the LAN. For information about high-speed providers, click the easy Internet sign-upicon found on the desktop or in the Start menu under All Programs.

This network connection also allows you to share printers, data, and other devices among your PCs.

Note: Your computer may not come with a network interface adapter.

Locate the RJ-45 port on the back of the computer. (Refer to the illustration that matches your system.)

RJ-45 port

To connect the network interface adapter to the
network:
1 Plug the network cable into the RJ-45 port	Internet
on the network adapter. The port is located
on the back of the computer.
Note: Do not connect a telephone cable (RJ-11
connector) to the network adapter port (RJ-45).

2Plug the other end of the network cable into a 10BaseT or a 100BaseT port on the network hub.

Note: The hub is a device to which all computers on the network are connected.

Warning: DO NOT plug the network cable into a telephone jack. Although the plug on the network cable looks similar to the plug on a telephone cable, they are not the same.
