142 Exploring Your Computer's Features Setting up for communications Using the Ethernet LAN Port When your computer starts, the Windows® operating system attempts to contact a Dynamic Host Configuration Protocol (DHCP) server. If the computer is not connected to a network, it may pause a few minutes as it waits for a reply. To avoid this delay, you can configure the Windows® operating system to disable the LAN port. To disable the LAN port: 1 Click Start, Control Panel. 2 Click Performance and Maintenance. 3 Click the System icon and select the Hardware tab, then select the Device Manager button. 4 Select Network Adapters, then select the appropriate network adapter. 5 Right-click the Adapter and click Disable. 6 Click Yes to confirm disabling the network card. Your LAN port is now disabled. Using Wireless LAN Connectivity NOTE Wireless connectivity and some features may require you to purchase additional software, external hardware or services. Availability of public wireless LAN access points may be limited. Your system may come with an optional wireless LAN module. This is a technology that expands wireless communication beyond networking equipment and can connect many different kinds of electronic devices without the need for cables.
