Connecting to the network

Your computer has one or more network adapters for connecting to the Internet and to your company's wired LAN or wireless LAN network.

Note: Some models come with a built-in wireless WAN card enabling you to establish wireless connections over remote public or private networks.

“Access Connections” on page 34 is a connectivity assistant program for creating and managing location profiles. Each location profile stores all the network and Internet configuration settings needed for connecting to a network infrastructure from a specific location such as a home or an office.

Your modem enables you to connect to your network or the Internet from almost anywhere. If your network has a phone line or lines dedicated to dial-up clients, you can use a modem to establish a connection to the LAN. If your network does not have dial-up networking capability (and many do not), you might be able to access some information and e-mail over the Internet.

Ethernet connections

You can connect to your network or a broadband connection, such as DSL or CATV, by use of the Ethernet feature built into your computer. This feature enables you to do 1Gbps half or full duplex data transmission.

To connect to a network via Ethernet, you can use Access Connections.

Note: Your computer might have both a modem connector and an Ethernet connector. Be sure to connect your cable to the correct one.
