Connecting to a network

Your computer comes with a built-in Ethernet interface.To connect to a network, proceed as follows:

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

5On the General tab under Device Usage, select Use this device (enable).

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

!Connect only 10BASE-T/100BASE-TX cables to the Ethernet port. Using other cables or a telephone cable may cause a malfunction, excessive heat or even fire in the port. If using this computer in Germany, please make sure you do not use an ISDN cable. It is physically very similar, but its higher voltage of 12V may destroy the motherboard inside the computer.

✍For more information about connecting your VAIO desktop to the network, please consult the hardware troubleshooting section of the VAIO-Link website (www.vaio-link.com).

For help on connecting to a network, see your network administrator if you have one.
