mouse port works.

the mouse on a different surface.
Networks (wired)
You cannot see the other computers on your wired Ethernet
network
• Make sure that your Ethernet cable is plugged into the
Ethernet jack on your convertible notebook. Make sure
that the other end is plugged into a router or cable or
DSL modem. For the location of your network jack, see
“Left” on page 7.
• Make sure that all computers are plugged into a
powered electrical outlet and turned on.
• Make sure that the router is plugged into a powered
electrical outlet and turned on. Most routers have lights
that indicate they are working. For more information,
see the documentation that came with your router.
• Make sure that all computers on your network have the
same workgroup name.
