All notebook models ship with an RJ-45 network jack. A network
cable with RJ-45 connectors at each end is included with select
models.
The notebook can be connected to a network whether or not the
internal modem is connected to a telephone line.
If your notebook is connected to a network, you may want to
confer with your network administrator before changing network
settings.
The notebook supports network speeds up to 10 Mbps when
connected to a
10BASE-T network and 100 Mbps when connected to
a
100BASE-TX network.
