Connecting to a LAN

You can connect to local area networks (LANs). LANs give you access to network
resources, such as printers and file servers on your corporate network, and possibly to the
Internet.

To connect to a LAN

1. Check that the existing LAN supports Ethernet 10Base-T (10 Mbps) or 100Base-TX
(100 Mbps) connections.
2. Plug the LAN cable (not supplied) into the built-in LAN port. The cable must have an
RJ-45 connector.
3. Windows automatically detects and sets up a LAN connection. To edit settings, open
Network and Dial-up Connections in Control Panel.
See Windows Help for information about setting up and using LAN connections—click
Start, Help and Support. Contact your network administrator for network information.
Two lights next to the LAN port indicate the status of the connection:
• The yellow light indicates network activity.
• The green light indicates a 100 MB per second link.
