138 Exploring Your Options Setting up for communications ❖ While you are at home or traveling, you may need a dialup connection. Ask your network administrator for the telephone number of the network. Setting up the connection To set up an office connection, consult your network administrator for network settings and additional considerations. To set up a dial-up connection, use the New Connection Wizard: 1 Click Start and point to All Programs. 2 Point to Accessories, then to Communications, and click New Connection Wizard. 3 Enter the phone number of your network connection and let the program dial the number. The computer connects to the network. Using the Ethernet LAN Port When your computer starts, Windows 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 reconfigure Windows to disable the LAN port. TECHNICAL NOTE: You can also use ConfigFree to reconfigure Windows to disable the LAN port. For procedures, see "Using ConfigFree™ with your Toshiba Computer" on page 277. To disable the LAN port: 1 Click Start, click Control Panel, then Performance and Maintenance.
