Setting Up Your Inspiron Laptop
Connect to the Internet (Optional)
NOTE: ISPs (Internet Service Providers)
and ISP offerings vary by country.
To connect to the Internet, you need an external
modem or network connection and an Internet
service provider (ISP).
NOTE: If an external USB modem or WLAN
adapter is not a part of your original
order, you can purchase one from the Dell
website at www.dell.com.
NOTE: If you cannot connect to the Internet
but have successfully connected in the
past, the ISP might have a service outage.
Contact your ISP to check the service
status, or try connecting again later.
NOTE: Have your ISP information ready. If
you do not have an ISP, the Connect to the
Internet wizard can help you get one.
