4.15. Configure your Network

Note

This step is generally ignored for Recommended mode.

You are now proposed to set up your Internet/network connection. If you wish to connect your computer to the Internet or to a local network, click OK. The autodetection of network devices and modem will be launched. If this detection fails, uncheck the Use auto detection box next time. You may also choose not to configure the network, or do it later; in that case, simply click the Cancel button.

Available connections are: traditional modem, ISDN modem, ADSL connection, cable modem, and finally a simple LAN connection (Ethernet).

Here, we will not detail each configuration. Simply make sure that you have all the parameters from your Internet Service Provider or system administrator.

You can consult the User Guide chapter about Internet connections for details about the configuration, or simply wait until your system is installed and use the program described there to configure your connection.

If you wish to configure the network later after installation, or if you are finished configuring your network connection, click Cancel.
