What To Do Next; To Connect To The Internet - HP OmniBook 500 Reference Manual

What to do next

Here are a few things you may want to try at this point:
• If you're not familiar with the version of Windows installed on your computer, click
Start, Help (Windows 98 or 2000) or Start, Tour Windows XP, or check the Windows
manual to discover what's new.
• If your computer shipment includes an expansion base and CD-ROM drive or similar
drive, insert the drive in the right module bay—see "To replace a plug-in module" on
page 84 for details. Then turn on the computer and insert it into the expansion base—
see "To dock the computer" on page 78 for details.
• If your expansion base includes a DVD drive or CD-RW drive, you also received
special software for the drive—find the software CD in the box. Click Start, Programs
(Windows 98 or 2000) or Start, All Programs, Multimedia (Windows XP)—if the
software isn't listed, install it by inserting the CD in the drive. Follow the instructions
displayed—run Setup on the CD if it doesn't run automatically.
See the online Reference Guide to learn more about using and maintaining your
computer—click Start, Programs, HP Library (Windows 98 or 2000) or Start, Help and
Support, HP Library (Windows XP).

LAN, you can use it to connect to the Internet. For details, see "Using the Modem" on
page 62, "Connecting to a LAN" on page 71, or "Making Wireless Connections" on
