Connecting to a computer network

The computer may have the following networking capabilities:

Local area network (LAN)

Wireless local area network (WLAN)

Wireless wide area network (WWAN)

Bluetooth®

If you plan to connect the computer to a home office LAN or WLAN, refer to the Help and Support Center for information on networking. If you need assistance to connect to a company LAN or WLAN, contact your network administrator.

The computer display must be open before you can connect to a wireless network.

For information on connecting to a WWAN, refer to the HP Broadband Wireless Getting Started document, included with the computer.

If the computer has a Bluetooth device, you can create a personal area network (PAN) to connect to other Bluetooth-enabled devices, such as computers, telephones, printers, headsets, speakers, and cameras. For information on using a Bluetooth device, refer to Bluetooth online Help.

For information on connecting the computer to the Internet when you are not connected to a network, refer to Appendix A, “Connect to the Internet from your home.”
