NOTE: Internet hardware and software features vary depending on computer model and your location.

Your computer may support one or both of the following types of Internet access:

●Wireless—For mobile Internet access, you can use a wireless connection. Refer to Connecting to an existing WLAN on page 19 or Setting up a new WLAN network on page 20.

●Wired—You can access the Internet by connecting to a wired network. For information on connecting to a wired network, refer to the HP Notebook Reference Guide.

Using an Internet service provider (ISP)

Before you can connect to the Internet, you must establish an ISP account. Contact a local ISP to purchase Internet service and a modem. The ISP will help set up the modem, install a network cable to connect your wireless computer to the modem, and test the Internet service.

NOTE: Your ISP will give you a user ID and password to access the Internet. Record this information and store it in a safe place.
