Most applications on modern computers require an Internet connection. Networking can be complex, but in this movie, we'll look at the most common ways to connect to the Internet. We'll see how to connect to a Wi-Fi network, then we'll talk about using a wired connection with an Ethernet cable.
- [Instructor] In this movie we'll talk about…connecting to the internet, which is pretty essential.…You need to do this if you want to browse the web,…access your email, buy new applications in the App Store,…lots of things.…If you're watching this course then you're already connected…to the internet,…so I'm sure a lot of people will skip this movie.…But if you're operating a second computer,…and you're not sure how to get it connected,…or if you just want to learn more details…about connecting to a network, I'll show you the options.…Just keep in mind that I'm going to show you…some general options,…we're not able to get too advanced here…because there are a lot of specific variables…to your network, so you may need to contact a contractor…or your IT professional…if your questions are not answered in this movie.…
So currently I'm not connected to the internet,…and if I launch an application…that requires an internet connection,…then it will either not work…or certain features of the application will not work.…
