Setting Up and Using Networks

Setting up a computer network provides connectivity between your computer
and the Internet, another computer, or a network. For example, with a
network set up in a home or small office you can print to a shared printer,
access drives and files on another computer, browse other networks, or access
the Internet. You can set up a local area network (LAN) using a network or
broadband modem cable or set up a wireless LAN (WLAN).

Windows Vista™ operating system provides a wizard to help
guide you through the process of networking computers. For more

Connecting a Network or Broadband Modem
Cable
Before you connect your computer to a network, the computer must have a
network adapter installed and a network cable connected to it.
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 on 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.
