Connecting to a network (LAN)

You can connect your computer to 10BASE-T/100BASE-TX-type networks via an Ethernet network cable. For the detailed settings and devices needed to connect to the network, consult your Network Administrator.

✍The default settings make your computer able to connect to the network.

If the main unit is docked, you can only use the Ethernet network connector on the port replicator.

For more information about connecting your notebook to the network, please consult the Hardware troubleshooting section of the VAIO-Link website:

How to troubleshoot network problems

! Do not plug a phone cable into your computer network jack.
