To get the most out of your computer, we recommend that you connect it to the Internet. Normally, the easiest way to do this is to connect it to a local network that is connected to the Internet. For example, a typical home broadband connection includes a switch or router that computers and other devices (such as smartphones or tablets) can connect to so they can access the Internet and share files, printers, and other devices locally. . Likewise, your workplace likely has a network that allows computers and devices to connect to servers, printers, and other shared resources and access the Internet.
This chapter shows you how to connect your computer to a
wired or wireless network, how to connect to network folders, and how to deal
with network problems. You will also learn how to connect your computer to a
virtual private network, or VPN, to establish a secure connection to a server
on the Internet and how to share your computer's Internet connection with
others.
