Making the first data connection (LAN)

Before connecting to the LAN interface
For the LAN (Local Area Network) interface to work without any further setup, the computer must
be set up to obtain an IP address and a DNS server address automatically.
To check these settings on your computer, do as follows (For Windows® XP):
1. From the Start menu, select Connect To > Show All Connections.
2. Double-click Local Area Connection and click Properties.
3. Select Internet Protocol (TCP/IP) from the list and click Properties.
Make sure both fields are set to obtain an address automatically.
