Operating Basics
If you used the Task Bar to disable Wireless LAN, restart the computer or 
follow the procedures below to enable the system to recognize Wireless 
LAN. Click Start → Control Panel → System and Maintenance → 
System → Device Manager → Network Adaptors, and right click the 
wireless device then choose Enable. 
It may not be possible to make a network connection to a specified network 
name using the ad hoc network function.
If this occurs, the new network(*) will have to be configured for all 
computers connected to the same network in order to re-enable network 
connections.
* Please be sure to use new network name.
LAN
The computer has built-in support for Ethernet LAN (10 megabits per 
second, 10BASE-T), Fast Ethernet LAN (100 megabits per second, 
100BASE-TX) or Gigabit Ethernet LAN (1000 megabits per second, 
1000BASE-T)(depending on model you purchased). This section describes 
how to connect/disconnect to a LAN.
Connecting LAN cable
If you are using Fast Ethernet LAN (100 Mbit/s, 100BASE-TX), be sure to 
connect with a category 5 cable, CAT5, or higher.
If you are using Ethernet LAN (10 Mbit/s, 10BASE-T), connect with a 
category 3 cable, CAT3, or higher.
If you are using Gigabit Ethernet (1000 megabits per second, 1000BASE-
T), connect with a category 5E cable, CAT5E, or higher.
To connect the LAN cable, follow the steps below.
1. Turn off the power to the computer and to all external devices con-
nected to the computer.
Do not install or remove an optional memory module while Wake-up on 
LAN is enabled.
The Wake-up on LAN function consumes power even when the system is 
off. Leave the AC adaptor connected while using this feature.
The computer must be configured properly before connecting to a LAN. 
Logging onto a LAN using the computer’s default settings could cause a 
malfunction in LAN operation. Check with your LAN administrator 
regarding set-up procedures.
