Connecting to the Internet

NOTE: ISPs and ISP offerings vary by country.

To connect to the Internet, you need a network connection or external modem and an Internet service provider (ISP). If you are using a DSL or cable/satellite modem, contact your ISP or cellular phone service for setup instructions. If you are using an external USB modem, follow the installation instructions that came with your modem before setting up your dial-up connection.

Setting Up Your Internet Connection

1Save and close any open files, and exit any open programs.

2Double-click the ISP icon on the Microsoft® Windows® desktop.

NOTE: If you cannot connect to the Internet, see the Dell Technology Guide. If you have successfully connected in the past, the ISP might have a service outage. Contact your ISP to check the service status, or try connecting again later.
