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.
