Learning the Basics
Powering down the computer
Connecting your computer to a network
You can connect your computer to a network remotely, using
the built-in modem and a dial-up connection. For specific
information about connecting to the local area network
(LAN) or wide area network (WAN), consult your network
administrator.
To use a dial-up connection, have your network administrator
configure your computer for the network and supply you with
the telephone number for the dial-up connection. To set up
the network connection, use the Dial-Up Networking Wizard:
1
Click Start and point to All Programs.
2
Point to Accessories, then to Communications.
3
Click Network Setup Wizard or Network
Connections.
4
Enter the phone number of your network connection and
let the program dial the number.
The computer connects with the network.
Powering down the computer
When you power down the computer, you have three options
to choose from: Turn Off, Hibernate and Standby. Each
option has its advantages.
TECHNICAL NOTE: Before using any of these options to power
down your computer, save your files and make sure the drive-in-
use lights are off.
If you decide to continue working, wait a few seconds before
turning the computer on again.
