Create a network profile

See the instructions below for your operating system.

For operating systems other than Windows XP and Mac OS X

If you have an operating system other than Windows XP or Mac OS X, we recommend that you use the configuration program for your wireless LAN card. To find the configuration program for your wireless LAN card, access your computer's list of programs.

Using the LAN card configuration program, create a network profile that has the following values:

●Network name (SSID): Mynetwork

●Communication mode: Ad Hoc

●Encryption: enabled

Note You can use a different name for your network other than the example shown here, such as your initials. Just remember that the network name is case sensitive. Therefore, you must remember which letters are uppercase and lowercase.

For Windows XP

Your HP all-in-one comes configured with a network profile named hpsetup. However, for security and privacy we recommend you create a new network profile on your computer as described here, and then use the Wireless Setup Wizard to detect the new network (as described in the next section).

1Make sure you have followed all of the instructions in the previous section, Prepare your computer.

2In the Control Panel, double-clickNetwork Connections.
