Setting Up Your Inspiron Laptop

Connect to the Internet (Optional)

To connect to the Internet, you need an external modem or network connection and an Internet Service Provider (ISP).

If an external USB modem or WLAN adapter is not a part of your original order, you can purchase one from the Dell website at www.dell.com.

Setting Up a Wired Connection

•If you are using a DSL or cable/satellite modem connection, contact your ISP or cellular telephone service for setup instructions.

•If you are using a dial-up connection, connect the telephone line to the optional external USB modem and to the telephone wall connector before you set up your Internet connection.

To complete setting up your wired Internet connection, follow the instructions in “Setting Up Your Internet Connection” on page 14.
