To Set Up Your Ethernet Connection - Sony VAIO Personal Computer User Manual

To set up your ethernet connection

Before you connect to a network, you must enter information about the country
or region you are located in. This information allows your modem to operate
according to the standards of the phone system in your area.
In Microsoft® Windows® XP Home Edition, there are two places you must enter
location information for your modem. The first entry controls how your modem
dials a phone number, such as whether the phone number requires a long distance
dialing prefix. The second entry controls how your modem interacts with the
local phone network.
