-This tutorial shows the basics steps to configur a network connection between a host PC and your LeapFrog Pollux Platform device. The [[LeapPad_Explorer]] and [[Leapster_Explorer]] both come with everything you need for networking, minus a few configuration steps, while the [[Didj]] requires a more involved process [[Didj_Enable_Networking| Enable Didj Networking]].

		+	For the Leapster Exporer and LeapPad Explorer on Windows, it is a bit different. Unfortunately at this time, The networking in Didj does not work with Windows. This requires LFConnect to be installed, as it uses its USB Ether Gadget driver. But it does not need to be running.
