Access Connections
Access Connections™ 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.
By switching between location profiles as you move your computer from place to place, you can quickly and easily connect to a network with no need to reconfigure your settings manually and restart the computer each time.
To open the Access Connections program, do the following:
•For Windows 7: See “Accessing applications in Windows 7” on page 20.
•For Windows XP: Click Start ➙ All Programs ➙ ThinkVantage ➙ Access Connections.
