guest privileges on the network. The network administrator

network just as you do with your desktop PC, including user
name, password, domain name, and IP address
(if applicable).

to you.
To configure the NIC
1. On the Start menu, point to Settings, and then
click Control Panel.
2. Double-click the Network icon. The Network
Configuration dialog box appears.
3. On the Adapters tab, select the driver or adapter,
and then click Properties. Check with your net-
work administrator if do not know which settings to
use.
4. On the Identification tab, enter your user name,
password, and domain name. This information will
be saved, so you will not have to type it every time
you connect to a network resource.
Connecting the network cable and logging on

connect your NIC to the network cable. Follow the
manufacturer’s instructions included with your PC Card and
contact your network administrator for further assistance.
Now, you can log on just as you do from your desktop PC.
