Connecting to an Ethernet network
To connect your computer to a twisted-pair Ethernet network:
1 |
Plug one end of an Ethernet cable into the Ethernet port on your computer.
 |
Ethernet port and icon |
|
2 |
Plug the other end of the Ethernet cable into an Ethernet wall outlet or open connector on an Ethernet hub. |
If the cable does not fit into the port:
|
Make sure that you are not trying to connect the Ethernet cable to the internal modem port. The connectors look alike. |
|
Make sure you are using the right cable. You may need to obtain an adapter that converts RJ-45 twisted-pair Ethernet to the type your network uses. Contact your network administrator for more information. |
