Using the Ethernet LAN Port
If your operating system is Windows ® XP Professional, you
can connect your computer to a Local Area Network (LAN)

(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
