connect your monitor to the computer, you should also connect analog speakers to the computer Audio Line Out

connect analog speakers.

Verify that you are using the proper cables for your Internet connection type. Your computer might have a dial-

 

up modem and an Ethernet network adapter (also called a network interface card, or NIC). A modem uses a

 

standard telephone cable, whereas the network adapter uses a network cable, to connect to a local area

 

network (LAN). Do not connect a telephone cable to the network adapter, and do not plug a network cable into

 

a telephone service line; doing so might damage the network adapter.

 

 

 

Run the wireless setup wizard:

 

1. Click Start, click Control Panel, click Network and Internet, and then click Network and

 

Sharing Center.

 

2. In the Network and Sharing Center window, click Set up a connection or network to open the

 

wizard, and then follow the on-screen instructions.

 

 

 

If your system has an external antenna, try to move the antenna to a better position. If the antenna is internal,

 

try to move the computer.

 

 

 

Try to connect again later, or contact your Internet service provider (ISP) for assistance.
