Chapter 7: Networking Your Computer

Now that your home network is set up, log onto one of your computers and access a favorite 
Internet Web site.

If you are unable to connect to the Internet:

■

Run the New Connection Wizard (see 

)

■

Check all physical cable connections

■

Compare the status lights on the front of the router or access point with the 
patterns described in the router or access point literature

■

Temporarily turn off any firewall software on your desktop computer

■

Turn off all of the devices, then power them back on

■

Refer to your router’s or access point’s troubleshooting information

■

Contact your Internet service provider

Internet sharing lets all computers on the network access the Internet at the same time 
using one Internet service provider (ISP) connection.

The Internet setup procedure uses the Windows XP New Connection 
Wizard and Internet Explorer. The example screens show those 
screens that typically appear in the course of using the wizard. If your 
Internet connection differs from that used in this example, you may 
encounter additional screens or screens with different selections. 
Make sure that you read each screen in the wizard and make your 
selections based on your particular Internet connection situation.

If you use a browser other than Internet Explorer, see the help 
provided with that browser for configuring it for use on a network.

If you are using a dial-up modem instead of a broadband connection, 
see the documentation that came with your router or access point 
for the correct procedure.
