Using Wireless LAN connectivity

Wireless connectivity and some features may require you to
purchase additional software, external hardware or services.
Availability of public wireless LAN access points may be limited.
Your system comes with a wireless LAN module. This is a
technology that expands wireless communication beyond
networking equipment, and can connect many different kinds of
electronic devices without the need for cables.
For information on how to set up a wireless connection, refer to
your wireless networking device documentation or your network
administrator.
To enable or disable wireless communication, use the F8 key. For
more information see “TOSHIBA Function Keys” on page 170.
When Airplane mode is OFF, the wireless indicator light will be
lit.
For help with common Wi-Fi® networking problems, see “Wireless
networking problems” on page 159.

Accessing a network

To access a network, connect an Ethernet cable to the Network port
(RJ45) on your computer. For specific information about
connecting to the network, consult your network administrator.
Many hotels, airports, and offices offer Wi-Fi® access.
