Using Ethernet to Connect to a Network
You can exchange data with other devices on a network by connecting your
notebook to your Local Area Network (LAN).
To connect the notebook to a network, you need a network PC card or a port
replicator (PCGA-PRF1A). For more information on using PC cards, see “Using
PC Cards” on page 46 . Consult the network system administrator to find out
about the accessory settings required to access the network.
