Set Up Internet Service
You must set up Internet service before you can connect to the
Internet. Arrangements have been made 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 may 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.
Using Easy Internet Sign-Up
If the Easy Internet Sign-Up utility is supported in the country in
which you purchased your notebook, you can access the utility by
using either of the following methods:
» Double-click the Easy Internet Sign-up icon on the desktop.
– or –
» Select Start > All Programs > Online Services > Easy
Internet Sign-up.
If the Easy Internet Sign-Up utility is available, you can use the
utility to
■ Sign up for a new Internet account.
■ Configure your notebook to use an existing account.
■ Learn about accessing the Internet through a LAN (local area
network), cable, or DSL connection.
If you plan to use a LAN, DSL, or cable Internet connection,
you may need to contact your ISP for information about
obtaining additional software or hardware. For more
information about LAN, DSL or cable Internet connections,
