follow the procedures below to enable the system to recognize Wireless
LAN. Click [Start] - [Control Panel] - [System and Maintenance] - [System] -
[Device Manager] - [Network Adaptors], and right click the wireless device

It may not be possible to make a network connection to a specified network
name using the ad hoc network function.
If this occurs, the new network(*) will have to be configured for all
computers connected to the same network in order to re-enable network

LAN
The computer has built-in support for Ethernet LAN (10 megabits per
second, 10BASE-T), or Fast Ethernet LAN (100 megabits per second,
100BASE-TX) (depending on model you purchased). This section
describes how to connect/disconnect to a LAN.
Connecting LAN cable
If you are using Fast Ethernet LAN (100 Mbit/s, 100BASE-TX), be sure to
connect with a category 5 cable, CAT5, or higher.
If you are using Ethernet LAN (10 Mbit/s, 10BASE-T), connect with a
category 3 cable, CAT3, or higher.
To connect the LAN cable, follow the steps below.
1. Turn off the power to the computer and to all external devices con-
nected to the computer.
Do not install or remove an optional memory module while Wake-up on
LAN is enabled.
The Wake-up on LAN function consumes power even when the system is
off. Leave the AC adaptor connected while using this feature.
The computer must be configured properly before connecting to a LAN.
Logging onto a LAN using the computer’s default settings could cause a
malfunction in LAN operation. Check with your LAN administrator
regarding set-up procedures.
