Using the Ethernet LAN Port

If your operating system is Windows
you can connect your computer to a Local Area Network
(LAN) at work or from a remote location.
When your computer starts, the Windows

network, it may pause a few minutes as it waits for a reply. To
avoid this delay, you can configure the Windows
system to disable the LAN port.
To disable the LAN port:
1 Click Start and then click Control Panel.
2 Click Performance and Maintenance.
3 Click the System icon and select the Hardware tab, then
select the Device Manager button
4 Select Network Adapters, then select the specific
Network Adapter.
