This section provides information about Ethernet networks and the hardware connectors and software
device drivers that allow you to access an Ethernet network. Access to a computer network immediately
increases your productivity potential. Once the network connection is active, you can share resources,
such as a printer, exchange information from computer to computer, and run common software
programs.
The computer comes network-ready, which means that it has an integrated network controller and
network device drivers already loaded onto the computer hard drive. The computer is ready to make
the network connection.
