Connect to the Internet through an Ethernet cable.
The IBM Aptiva E 595 is a desktop computer (now discontinued) last produced in 2003. Although the system has a few standard drives, such as a floppy disk drive and optional DVD drive, it does not come with a built-in Ethernet connection. Although it is possible to open up the system and install a new Ethernet card, doing so is time consuming and can possibly cause damage to the interior of the computer though static shocks.
Instructions
1. Connect the USB Ethernet adapter into one of the USB ports on the IBM Aptiva 595 computer.
2. Insert the driver installation CD into the disc drive and close the tray. If the driver installation wizard does not load automatically, click "Start," "My Computer" and double-click the CD icon. The driver installation wizard now loads.
3. Accept the license agreement, then click "Next" until you reach the installation page. Choose "Install" and the drivers install onto the computer.
4. Plug the Ethernet cable into an "Out" port on the DSL or cable modem. Connect the opposite end into the Ethernet "WAN" port on the USB Ethernet adapter. You are now set to begin using the Ethernet Internet connection on the IBM Aptiva E 595.
