Setting Up a Wired (Ethernet) Connection

The Ethernet connection, which may be called network interface adapter, Network Interface Card, or NIC, provides a high-speed or broadband connection to an Ethernet (10BaseT) or Fast Ethernet (100BaseT) network. After you connect this interface to a network, such as a LAN, you can connect to the Internet through the network.

1Connect an Ethernet cable to the Ethernet connector (A) on the back of the computer, and to the network router or LAN device.

NOTE: Your computer may not come with an Ethernet connector.
