Network Problems

Wireless Connections

If the wireless network connection is lost

The wireless control may have been unintentionally touched, deactivating your wireless radios. To turn on wireless again, with the computer turned on, gently touch

the wireless control on the center

control cover and then release. You can manage the Wireless LAN using Intel PROSet from your taskbar. You can also use Windows Wireless Network Connections, accessed from the Control Panel, to manage Wireless LAN.

Interference may be blocking or interrupting your wireless connection. Try moving the computer closer to your wireless router.

Wired Connections

If the wired network connection is lost

The cable may be loose or damaged.
