❑A functional Ethernet network that includes a router, switch, or hub with an Ethernet port.

❑CAT-5 Ethernet cable.

Although standard Ethernet cables look similar to standard telephone cables, they are not interchangeable. There is a different number of wires in each one, and each has a different connector. An Ethernet cable connector (also called an RJ-45 connector) is wider and thicker and always has 8 contacts on the end. A phone connector has between 2 and 6 contacts.

❑A desktop computer or laptop on the same network.

NOTE: The HP Photosmart supports networks with automatic speed negotiation capable of 10 or 100 Mbps.
