each computer a unique name by which it can be identified when the two
computers are networked. See the Smart Connect online help for more

Enabling a Network
Your computer comes with built-in Ethernet networking capability.
Before using a network, you must enable Ethernet by following the
instructions under “Enabling Smart Connect,” above. Wherever the
instructions refer to the “Sony i.LINK(1394) Adapter,” substitute “Intel
8255x-based PCI Ethernet Adapter (10/100)” instead. For example, when
you reach step 6 of the instructions, instead of double-clicking Sony
i.LINK(1394) Adapter, double-click Intel 8255x-based PCI Ethernet
Adapter (10/100). Otherwise, the steps are the same.
