If you are already using Windows, and you haven’t yet logged on to your network, you 
can log off from Windows and then log back on. 

To log off and log back on to your network 

1. Click Start. 

2. Click Log Off. (If Log Off does not appear on your Start menu, click Shut Down, 

make sure that Log Off is selected in the drop-down box, and then click OK.) 

3. Log on to your network. 

 

After you log on to your network, you can perform certain network functions, such as 
opening shared files. 

Using an Internet Connection over a Network 

Now that you’ve installed the base station, all of the computers on your network can 
use one Internet connection. Multiple computers can even use the Internet connection 
at the same time, without making the Internet connection speed noticeably slower for 
each person.  

You can access the Internet from each computer in the way you are used to, for 
example, by simply starting your Web browser and visiting a Web site. Note that, to 
browse the Web, each computer must have its own Web browser (such as Microsoft 
Internet Explorer) installed.
