You see an “Unable to locate host” message and are unable
to browse the Internet
• This problem can occur when you have typed a URL
(Web address) incorrectly, you have lost your Internet
connection, or your ISP is having technical difficulties.
Double-check the URL or try a different URL. If the error
message still appears, disconnect from the ISP
connection and close your browser, then reconnect and
open the browser. If you still get the error, your ISP may
be having technical difficulties.
Connecting to a Web site takes too long
Many factors can affect Internet performance:
• The condition of the telephone lines in your residence
or at your local telephone service
• The condition of the Internet computers to which you
connect and the number of users accessing those
computers
• The complexity of graphics and multimedia on Web
pages
• Having multiple Web browsers open, performing
multiple downloads, and having multiple programs
open on your convertible notebook

received any mail
• Click or tap the receive button in your e-mail program.
• Make sure that your account with your Internet service
provider (ISP) is set up correctly. Contact your ISP for
technical support.

loosen a key that might be stuck, then restart your
convertible notebook.
