117<br />
To connect to the Internet, use an online service, or communicate<br />
across the telephone lines with another computer, you need:<br />
❖ A browser or communications program<br />
❖ An Internet Service Provider (ISP) or online service if you plan<br />
to use the Internet<br />
❖ A way to connect to the ISP (for example modem/<br />
Wi-Fi ® /LAN, etc.)<br />
Using Wireless LAN connectivity<br />
Wireless connectivity and some features may require you to<br />
purchase additional software, external hardware or services.<br />
Availability of public wireless LAN access points may be limited.<br />
Your system may come with an optional wireless LAN module.<br />
This is a technology that expands wireless communication beyond<br />
networking equipment, and can connect many different kinds of<br />
electronic devices without the need for cables.<br />
For information on how to set up a wireless connection, refer to<br />
your wireless networking device documentation or your network<br />
administrator.<br />
To use your wireless communication, slide the Wireless antenna<br />
ON/OFF switch to the ON position.<br />
When the Wireless antenna ON/OFF switch is ON, the wireless<br />
indicator light will be lit.<br />
For help with common Wi-Fi ® networking problems, see “Wireless<br />
networking problems” on page 177.<br />
Connecting your computer to a network<br />
You can connect your computer to a network to increase its<br />
capabilities and functionality using one of its communication ports.
