Power Options can be configured as per one's preference.
Hibernate is the best option to chose as it keeps the last state of your activities & starts from thereon at next Power On.
its just called a network enabled computer or server or a workgroup and this if it configured to work
Assigns addresses and configures clients for network access.
When a Windows computer is configured to use DHCP and no DHCP server is available, it automatically assigns itself an Automatic Private IP Addressing (APIPA) address. This address falls within the range of 169.254.0.1 to 169.254.255.254. The computer uses this address to communicate with other devices on the same local network segment, but it cannot connect to external networks without a valid DHCP lease.
Should have a LAN Card installed & configured properly on the Computer to connect it to network.
To get connected to Network Computer must have installed & configured NIC (Network Interface Card). Then connect RJ45 port on your computer to existing Network Switch ports available in the Network with a Cat5 or Cat6 cable.
The basic components of a network are the clients and the network hardware such as the switch that connects the hosts together. Each client is required to have a network interface card and must be configured with the network IP settings that the admin has configured for the network. Once all the lower level settings have been configured you need to configure the computer to join either the workgroup or the network domain that is configured on the network.
DHCP and configured as part of a workgroup.
You can use its IP address or network name (your firewall has to be configured properly).
Each computer requests configuration information from a server.
A network that has ten or more nodes is usually configured as a client/server network.
If your router is configured to work in G mode only, then the answer is yes. If the router is configured to use mixed mode (B and G), then the answer is no. N type adapters will perform as they are supposed too (if the router is configured properly).
When it is new it will initially be configured. When a new operating system is installed, it will be configured. Installing some software or changing some settings may require a little re-configuring. If you are chaning the country settings, for example. If the computer is being connected to a network it may need to be configured. If it is being upgraded it may be configured. If it is having a complete change in usage, maybe as a server instead of a client it may be configured. So there are many reasons when a computer would be configured.
