Windows 2000

Windows 2000 has integrated networking functions that allow for easy networking of your WinBook X Series notebook. Contact your network administrator for detailed information about setting up your computer for networking in Windows 2000 so that you can be certain to have the proper settings and permissions.

If you would like to see the other machines available on your network, double-click on My Network Places. (Figure 4.24) You will see icons

that allow you to look for systems in the complete network (Entire Network), as well as an icon that allows you to establish shortcuts to your favorite network sites (these will show up in the window once you establish the shortcuts). Although Windows 2000 handles most network functions, you can alter the network settings manually as needed. You can access the network properties by double-clicking on the Network and Dial-up Connections icon in the Control Panel or by right- clicking on the My Network Places icon on the desktop and selecting Properties. Right-click on the “Local Area Connection” icon (or other icon designating your network connection) and select Properties from the pop-up menu. Once the Local Area Connection Properties box has opened, you can configure the connection device for this con- nection or alter the properties of the components
