Connecting to a network
Your computer comes with a preinstalled Ethernet interface.
To connect to a network, proceed as follows:
1 Connect your 10BASE-T/100BASE-TX Ethernet cable (not supplied) to the Ethernet port on the back of
the computer.
If there is a sticker covering the Ethernet port, this is to remind customers in Germany not to insert an
ISDN cable (see caution below).
2 Go to Start, right-click on My Computer and select Properties.
3 Click the Hardware tab and select Device Manager.
The Device Manager screen appears with the list of devices.
4 Under Network Adapters, right-click on Realtek RTL8100/B/810x Family PCI Fast Ethernet NIC.
5 Click Properties.
6 Under Device Usage, select Use this device (enable).
7 Click OK to close the Properties window.
The Ethernet connection is now enabled.
