Physically Connecting to a Network or Broadband Modem
Before you connect your computer to a network that is not wireless, the computer must have a
network cable connected to it.
To connect a network cable:
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 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.
3. 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.
