Set Up Internet Service
You must set up Internet service before you can connect to the
Internet. HP has made arrangements with leading ISPs in many
locations to help you set up a new Internet account or to configure
your notebook to use an existing account.
Depending on your location, you might be able to set up
Internet
service by using the Easy Internet Sign-up utility
or
an ISP-provided icon on your desktop.
In all locations, you can set up Internet service by using
the
Windows Internet Connection wizard.
