4. What to Do Next
Before connecting to the Internet, you need to
select a connection service, make a contract
with an Internet service provider accordingly,
and make the Internet connection settings on
your VAIO computer.
With your VAIO computer, you can connect to the
Internet via a Wi-Fi (wireless LAN).
For detailed information on the Internet
connection settings and required network
devices, refer to the manual from your service
provider and the manual that came with your
device.
The figure below illustrates network device
connections for Internet access.
1Follow the instructions in the manual from your
service provider to connect the modem and the
router or Wi-Fi (wireless LAN) access point, and
then make the settings required for Internet
access.
To make the settings, you need to connect your
VAIO computer to those devices via a Wi-Fi
(wireless LAN).
Select (start), Settings, and Network &
Internet, and then set Wi-Fi to On.
Select the desired Wi-Fi access point, and
then Connect.
When a connection is established, Connected
appears in the Wi-Fi access point field.
If you are prompted for the security key in a
new window, enter the security key as required,
select Next, and make the PC sharing settings.
Note that the security key is case-sensitive.
2Start your Internet browser software and see if
a website appears.
If appears, your VAIO computer is successfully
connected to the Internet.
Hints
•The security key is information needed for
encrypting Wi-Fi communications. It solely allows
communications between your computer and
Wi-Fi access point that share the same key
information and may also be referred to as the
encryption key or the WEP key.
The security key is assigned to an individual
Wi-Fi access point by default. (Make sure that you
change the default security key to protect against
unauthorized use.) If you are not sure about your
default security key, refer to the manual that
came with your Wi-Fi access point. If your
connection attempt failed due to wrong security
key entry, repeat the whole steps under
Connecting via a Wi-Fi network.
•Establishing a successful connection to the
Internet completes Windows license
