Setting Up and Using Networks

Setting up a computer network provides connectivity between your

Tablet

-

PC and the Internet, another computer, or a network. For example,

with a network set up in a home or small office you can print to a shared

printer, access drives and files on another computer, browse other networks, or

access the Internet. You can set up a local area network (LAN) using a

network or broadband modem cable or set up a wireless LAN (WLAN).
Microsoft Windows provides a wizard to help guide you through the process

of networking computers. For more information about networking, see

"Windows Help and Support" on page 19.

Connecting a Network or Broadband Modem

Before you connect your Tablet-PC to a network, the Tablet-PC must have a

network adapter installed and a network cable connected to it.

1 Connect the network cable to the network adapter connector on the back

of your Tablet-PC.

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.
