106 Getting Connected
Creating an Ethernet Connection to a Network
You do not need to create a new connection on your device. Instead, you
must purchase and configure an Ethernet card that is compatible with
your device.
1 Get the following information from your network administrator:
–Username
Password
–Domain name
2 Insert the Ethernet card into your device.
For instructions on inserting and using the Ethernet card, see the
documentation that came with the card.
The first time you insert the card, Network Settings appears
automatically so that you can configure the Ethernet card. Most
networks use DHCP, so you should not have to change the settings
unless your network administrator instructs you to do so.
NOTE: If Network Settings does not appear or if you want to change
the settings later, tap the Start button and tap Settings. On the
Connections tab, tap Network, tap the adapter that you want to
change, and then tap Properties.
