1-4 Configuring Your Internet Connection

v1.0, March 2009

You can use the Setup Wizard to automatically detect your Internet connection as described in

“Using the Setup Wizard” on page1-4, or you can bypass the Setup Wizard and manually

configure your Internet connection as described in “Viewing or Manually Configuring Your

ISP Settings” on page 1-5.

Using the Setup Wizard

You can manually configure your Internet connection using the Basic Settings screen, or you can

allow the Setup Wizard to detect your Internet connection. The Setup Wizard searches your

Internet connection for servers and protocols to determine your ISP configuration. This feature is

not the same as the Smart Wizard on the Resource CD that is used for installation.

To use the Setup Wizard:

1. To go to the Setup Wizard screen, from the top of the main menu, select Setup Wizard.

2. Select Yes for the Auto-Detect Connection Type, and then click Next to proceed.

3. Enter your ISP settings, as needed.

4. At the end of the Setup Wizard, click Test to verify your Internet connection. If you have

trouble connecting to the Internet, see Chapter 7, “Troubleshooting.”
