Connecting two VAIO notebooks
You can copy, edit or delete files on another VAIO computer to your computer with an optional i.LINK™
cable. If the second computer has the Windows
®
XP operating system, you just need the i.LINK™ cable. If
the second computer has a different operating system (e.g., Windows
®
2000), you need a software
application such as Smart Connect.
You can also print a document on a printer connected to another VAIO computer.
Connecting to a network (LAN)
You can connect your computer or port replicator to 10BASE-T/100BASE-TX-type networks via an Ethernet
network cable. For the detailed settings and devices needed to connect to the network, consult your
Network Administrator.
The default settings make your computer able to connect to
the network.
If the main unit is docked, you can only use the Ethernet network
connector on the port replicator.
For more information about connecting your notebook to the
network, please consult the Hardware troubleshooting section of
the VAIO-Link website:
How to troubleshoot network problems
! Do not plug a phone cable into the Ethernet network connector.
