Connecting to a Local Area
Network (LAN)
Your notebook has an RJ-45 network jack and preinstalled
10BASE-T/100BASE-TX Ethernet circuity. 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. A network cable is not included with
your notebook but is available from most electronics retailers.
You can connect to local area networks (LANs) that give you
access to shared network resources, such as printers and file
servers on your corporate network, and possibly to the Internet.
