Physically Connecting to a Network or Broadband Modem
Before you connect your computer to a network that is not wireless, the computer must have a network
cable connected to it.
To connect a network cable:
1 Connect the network cable to the network adapter connector on the back of your computer.
NOTE:
Insert the cable connector until it clicks into place, and then gently pull the cable to ensure that it is
securely attached.
2 Connect the other end of the network cable to a network connection device or a network wall
connector.
NOTE:
Do not use a network cable with a telephone wall connector.
3 Connect the other end of the network cable to a network connection device or a network wall
connector.
NOTE:
Do not use a network cable with a telephone wall connector.
