Connecting to a network

 

Hardware

Your computer comes with a built-in Ethernet interface.

 

 

 

 

To connect to a network, proceed as follows:

 

 

1 Connect your 10BASE-T/100BASE-TX Ethernet cable (not supplied) to the Ethernet port

on the

 

right-hand side of the computer.

 

 

If there is a sticker covering the Ethernet port, this is to remind customers in Germany not to insert an

 

ISDN cable (see caution below).

 

2Go to Start, right-click My Computer and select Properties.

3Click the Hardware tab and select Device Manager.

The Device Manager screen appears with the list of devices.

4Under Network Adapters, right-click the name of the adapter and click Properties.

5Under Device Usage, select Use this device (enable).

6Click OK to close the Properties window. The Ethernet connection is now enabled.
