Connecting Using A Lan - NEC VERSA TXI Manual

Connecting Using a LAN

Many hotels and convention centers now offer direct Internet access for a nominal fee.
If your hotel provides this service, follow these guidelines for connecting and
configuring your system.
Many hotels can provide a LAN cable by prearrangement, so you can travel with a
!
minimum of accessories.
Plug the LAN cable into your system and the LAN connector in the room or hall
!
where you want to access the Internet.
After connecting the LAN cable, connect your system to an AC power outlet (if
!
desired) and power on your system.
Try launching your browser (Microsoft Internet Explorer, or Netscape
!
Communicator, for example):
— If your TCP/IP network settings are already configured to "Use DHCP for
WINS Resolution" you should be able to access the Internet.
— If your TCP/IP network settings are not set to use DHCP, a help screen may
appear, or you may be directed to call the LAN provider for assistance
configuring your system.
Follow the instructions that are provided to you completely, so your settings
work effectively with the provider's system.
If you have problems, the hotel or convention center may be able to direct you to a
!
support technician.
