Setting Up a Home and Office Network

Physically Connecting to a Network or Broadband Modem

Before you connect your computer to a network, the computer must have a network adapter
installed and a network cable connected to it.

To connect a network cable:

1 Connect the network cable to the network adapter connector on the back of your computer.

NOTE:

Insert the cable connector until it clicks into place, and then gently pull the cable to ensure that it is

securely attached.

2 Connect the other end of the network cable to a network connection device or a network wall

connector.

NOTE:

Do not use a network cable with a telephone wall connector.
