3 Connecting to a network
Your computer can travel with you wherever you go. But even at home, you can explore the globe
and access information from millions of websites using your computer and a wired or wireless
network connection. This chapter will help you get connected to that world.
Connecting to a wireless network
Wireless technology transfers data across radio waves instead of wires. Your computer may be
equipped with one or more of the following wireless devices:
Wireless local area network (WLAN) device—Connects the computer to wireless local area
●
networks (commonly referred to as Wi-Fi networks, wireless LANs, or WLANs) in corporate
offices, your home, and public places such as airports, restaurants, coffee shops, hotels, and
universities. In a WLAN, the mobile wireless device in your computer communicates with a
wireless router or a wireless access point.
Bluetooth device (select models only)—Creates a personal area network (PAN) to connect to
●
other Bluetooth-enabled devices such as computers, phones, printers, headsets, speakers, and
cameras. In a PAN, each device communicates directly with other devices, and devices must be
relatively close together—typically within 10 meters (approximately 33 feet) of each other.
For more information about wireless technology, see the information and website links provided in
Help and Support. From the Start screen, type help, and then select Help and Support.
Using the wireless controls
You can control the wireless devices in your computer using these features:
Wireless button, wireless switch, or wireless key (referred to in this chapter as the wireless
●
button) (select models only)
Operating system controls
●
Using the wireless button
The computer has a wireless button, one or more wireless devices, and one or two wireless lights,
depending on the model. All of the wireless devices on your computer are enabled at the factory, so
the wireless light is on (white) when you turn on the computer.
The wireless light indicates the overall power state of your wireless devices, not the status of
individual devices. If the wireless light is white, at least one wireless device is on. If the wireless light
is off, all wireless devices are off.
NOTE: On some models, the wireless light is amber when all wireless devices are off.
Because the wireless devices are enabled at the factory, you can use the wireless button to turn on or
turn off all the wireless devices simultaneously.
16 Chapter 3 Connecting to a network
Using operating system controls
The Network and Sharing Center allows you to set up a connection or network, connect to a network,
and diagnose and repair network problems.
To use operating system controls:
1. From the Start screen, type control panel, and then select Control Panel.
2. Select Network and Internet, and then select Network and Sharing Center.
For more information, from the Start screen, type help, and then select Help and Support.
Sharing data and drives and accessing software
When your computer is part of a network, you are not limited to using only the information that is
stored in your computer. Network computers can exchange software and data with each other.
NOTE: When a disc like a DVD movie or game is copy-protected, it cannot be shared.
To share folders or libraries on the same network:
1. From the Windows desktop, open File Explorer.
2. In the Libraries window, click Share, and then click Specific people.
3. Type a name in the File Sharing box, and then click Add.
4. Click Share and then follow the on-screen instructions.
To share information from your computer's hard drive:
1. From the Windows desktop, open File Explorer.
2. In the Libraries window, Click Local Disk (C:).
3. Click the Share tab, and then click Advanced sharing.
4. In the Local Disk (C:) Properties window, select Advanced Sharing.
5. Check Share this folder.
To share drives on the same network:
1. From the Windows desktop, right-click the network status icon in the notification area, at the far
right of the taskbar.
2. Select Open Network and Sharing Center.
3. Under View your active networks, select an active network.
4. Select Change advanced sharing settings to set sharing options for privacy, network
discovery, file and printer sharing or other network options.
