Setting Up and Using Networks Physically Connecting to a Network or Broadband Modem Setting up a computer network provides connectivity between your computer and the Internet, another computer, or a network. For example, with a network set up in a home or small office you can print to a shared printer, access drives and files on another computer, browse other networks, or access the Internet. You can set up a local area network (LAN) using a network or broadband modem cable or set up a wireless LAN (WLAN). The Microsoft® Windows® XP and Microsoft Windows Vista® operating systems provide wizards to help guide you through the process of networking computers. Connecting a Network or Broadband Modem Cable Before you connect your computer to a network that is not wireless, the computer must have a network adapter installed and a network cable connected to it. To connect a network cable: 1 Connect the network cable to the network adapter connector on the back of your computer. NOTE: Insert the cable connector until it clicks into place, and then gently pull the cable to ensure that it is securely attached. 2 Connect the other end of the network cable to a network connection device or a network wall connector. Do not use a network cable with a telephone wall connector. Setting Up and Using Networks 75
